Bridge to Nowhere over the East Fork of the San Gabriel River near Azusa, CA
Yes, @pvpeacock , it is the Bridge to Nowhere. You are up! I was hoping it would take longer.
I read a recent LA Times article on the bridge which is why I remembered it.
Although not a bridge, this is in a similar vein.

It's not London....
I assume we're in Europe, first guess would be the Rhine?

Rhine it is.

Well it looks like downstream is right, so we have a Really Big tributary coming into the left bank of the Rhine. There aren't many of those, my first thought is the Mosel(le), which meets the Rhine at Koblenz, where there's a cable car

A river...but no bridge this time.
Reminds me of driving up the A1 from Newcastle to Edinburgh.
UK?

There are some clues that it's not the UK if you look closely, and in fact the UK is quite cold.
Dolomites

Warmer than UK, but still chilly
Chilly as in NSE or W?
Alps maybe that the source of the Danube.

We are in Georgia - but what's the river?
Kurz River

If you mean the Kura - no
Machakhlistskali river?

No. It's not a tributary of another river.
Aragvi river or
Khobistsqali

British - apparently some US company stole my name
Well Aragvi is the Georgian word for a river, as well as being the name of a tributary of the Kura. So I assume you're talking about this one :

But it's not that one.

Nope.
It was the scene of a history-changing battle.

No. It goes into the Caspian.
Alazani?
The Volga or the Ural, probably the Ural.
Terek River

It is indeed the Terek, flowing east from Georgia, through Chechnya and Dagestan into the Caspian. It has featured in history several times. It marked the furthest point of the German advance towards the Baku oilfields in 1942, in 1262 it saw the Ilkhanate (southwest part of the Mongol Empire covering Iran/Iraq/Turkey) defeated by the Golden Horde (northwest part of the Mongol Empire extending from the Danube to Siberia), and on 14 April 1395 it saw Tamerlane (Timur) rout the Golden Horde leading to its eventual collapse.
The Terek is at the top of this map, the Timurid empire is in yellow.
