texture it for starters, mix in andesite, cracked stone bricks, stone, and cobblestone to the main areas, maybe even consider a deepslate and tuff gradient when it reaches the water to show water stainage. also just in general it looks bad because of it only being one block, try and add different blocks to different areas. overall the shape is good, it just looks bland af

Do you want it to look that square? Normally even square looking bridges still have a slight curve to them. Flat is weak structurally. Triangles are best and curves are next best.
My suggestions: Make the ends look slightly like s-curves and then the middle of the bridge should be about a block to a block and a half higher than the outside parts. The outside parts should have a gradual increase to the center, something like a half a block at the 1/3 point and another at the 2/3 point. Also, not necessary but could look good. Make the lower parts of the bases thicker than the upper parts of the supports. Also, make them match, the base on the right isn’t the same as the other two. And also, square bridges are normally really short. So, the supports are really tall here when they could probably be shorter.
After all that then it’s just texturing. The smooth stone that is along the side of the road is indicative of concrete. Use the same stuff because bridges are a lot of concrete. Use some cracked stuff too. And I think the brick is just overwhelming for a bridge. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a brick bridge, and never one that size.

Its hard to make gradual curved lines in smaller builds. You can try using a lead and a noAI mob to mimic the look, but you might need to switch ul your block palette.
