Hint #2: The picture was taken looking through the window on a moving train (hence that red label in the bottom right corner and the slight reflection elsewhere).

I was going to pass on this since it's too easy for me given the fact I live like 5 miles from it, but I have a bridge I want to try.

Powhite Parkway Bridge

You are correct. I took the picture looking through the window on the southbound Auto Train.

For those unfamiliar, that bridge carries VA-76, the Powhite Parkway, over the James River in Virginia.

Probably wrong but it looks so similar that I have to give it a try...

Clarence St over the Welland Canal in Port Colborne, ON?

Darn it! That is an all time look alike, and the single center stripe had me thinking I was on to something... https://goo.gl/maps/GZLSf1nuLJLmQN569 (I wouldn't be surprised if this was elsewhere on the Welland Canal. I'll keep looking. :D)

Looks like Niagara Regional Road 89/Glendale Ave over the Welland Canal.

And that would be it. webny99 simply picked the wrong one lol

Yeah, I really set up someone else to find it, and sure enough it took all of a few hours  :D

There's actually a third bridge over the Welland Canal that looks very similar, the Allanburg Bridge.

Is it the Kingston-Rhinecliff Bridge, near Kingston NY, carrying NY 199 over the Hudson River?

I was pretty sure this was the Hudson but hadn't had a chance to figure out which bridge. It looked too long to be the pedestrian bridge in Poughkeepsie which was my initial thought.

Yes, it is real.

Beat me to it by a couple of minutes. Just as I saw the image I typed in "circular bridge Japan" on Google and that bridge is the first one that popped up.

1995hoo, yes you are correct!  Your turn to post.  ozarkman417, gotta be a little bit quicker :)

I gotta find some harder bridges for next time.  Problem is, most of the "interesting looking" bridges are already well known by roadgeeks.

The traffic driving on the left is what tipped me off as to countries on which to focus.

I'll have a picture later this morning.

Picture taken this past Tuesday afternoon. In case it's unclear, the bridge is in the background.

Yes, that is correct, seen out the window of a southbound Acela train from New York to DC. The railroad bridge gives the opposite perspective from the one most people are used to seeing from I-95.
