I've just built this bridge, but I'm not satisfied with it - it seems to be lacking something. And I have some tips on how to make this bridge better?

ONE! Use spoilers:
TWO: Torches and statues
THREE: Traps
FIVE: turrets
SIX: MORE SLOPES
SEVEN: You realize that there was no four


Also use some mossy cobble, vines, or gravel in the river to show decay!

It looks awesome but a little too "clean" down near the water's edge. Perhaps using some vines or mossy cobbles in that area?

I do plan on doing that, but though you were both pretty helpful I'm asking on how i could change my bridge to make it look better.

it's pretty small... so there's not a lot to work with. It looks good to me.

It is indeed small, but you might be able to make some kind of design in the side using some slabs and/or stairs and putting glowstone behind them.

yuo should make a big pie monster to put in the river!!!!!! or just fill the river up more and add mossy gravel

Filling up the river isn't a solution, lol.
There's no mossy gravel in the game.... mossy cobble?
A pie monster? Uh... no.

Add structures around it so it doesn't look so empty! Maybe even make scenery alongside the river.
A market play near it maybe? Mix in the stone bricks with cracked stone bricks? Add iron bars or fences on the edge of the bridge? I'd like to see more of this!

It's on it's early stages... o_o i only started this around 3 days ago.

I was just replying to your comment about making the bridge look better that's all D:

It's ok, thanks

Alright, I just built this large 'house' next to the bridge.

Looks nice.

I think it just needs a little more detail. If you were to add depth to it by making it look more like the walls around it, it might fill in what you feel is lacking.

I once had a huge castle made mostly out of towers except for a small part on a cliff. A main hub tower connected to the cliff part by a small bridge, which had two tiny turrets (castle turrets, not gun holders) on both sides which you could go down into (the turrets were tiny rooms)
I also think that you should add some cracked bricks in the support arches, to make them look stressed. And maybe cap the sides with battlements (I need to make a Guide on that here, it'll help a lot of people)

Maybe you need is more details to the side of the bridge. And what is the texture pack?

Hrmm... I like it but I think Its under-detailed. Use cobblestone fence, half slabs, stairs, and decoration blocks to really make it pop.

I do like that house though, it's really quite nice. Simple but nice.

try watching this video on youtube hes a great builder and maybe you an steal some ideas
