A little more perspective
This entry selects the operator’s explicit high-tide datum and walkway endpoint. It is not the full height of either stone-clad tower. The illustration retains the tower tops above the measurement marker and uses the walkway floor as the upper reference.
The same operator page gives 33.5 meters from the roadway to the walkways and elsewhere rounds the river height to 42 meters. I retain the more specifically qualified 43.5-meter high-tide statement. Tides change the visible water-to-bridge distance without changing the structure.
