So, we have this lovely bridge here in Dallas, designed by Santiago Calatrava and crossing the (much wider than usual) Trinity River.
Unfortunately, the bridge is white, and now that we're catching up on the rain we've needed (for the last five years or so), the bridge does not exactly stand out against the sky.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a Lightroom/Photoshop beginner that can make the bridge stand out just a little bit more in pictures such as the attached?

2 adjustments of the dark and light sliders in "Levels" produced this.
@jethro779 - I like the B&W, did you make other adjustments? Was that Lightroom?
@SonyA580 - that's under the "adjustments" in Photoshop? Did you shift the midpoint?
Thanks for your suggestions!

Yes it was Lightroom 5.7. I adjusted the tone curve midpoint and converted to B & W.

Correct, PS, "Levels" under "Image" & "Adjustments". I probably did shift the mid-point along with the high and low.
The same bridge under more propitious circumstances...
