Bridge Prarie jumped off confirmed? St Louis person help!

What exactly is the bridge prarie jumps off in the opening scene? I mean the reality of it by cross referencing the visuals, not what we think it is based off the story. It looks kinda like the SF bay bridge, but there's a tunnel bit or a bit with a crossbeam overhang at the start of that video- not sure if that works for bay bridge or if a st louis bridge fits those characteristics. Can anyone help with that?

It's speculated here that the bridge she jumps from is Bear Mountain Bridge in New York.

Looks like Bear Mountain Bridge to me too, in the 2nd half of the scene... the first two cell phone flickers appear to be in a city and on a lower level of a bridge..?

To further complicate things, the nurse says she's in St. Louis Hospital. I tried and could not look it up.

It does not exist here. Not sure what that could mean.

Could it just be a made-up hospital named after Saint Louis (presumably an actual saint)? I'm from St. Louis, and was under the impression at first that the show was set somewhere near there, but when I learned it's really in Michigan, I assumed they just made up a name. Lots of hospitals have Catholic names.

Now, of course, it's time to research Saint Louis... So far, all I'm finding that seems relevant at all is that he had a controlling mom and was exceedingly religious (obviously). Probably a reach.

This is a bit late to comment, but it's the George Washington Bridge in Upper Manhattan. It's right by a city and the big key is the two levels of the bridge. Not to mention, they shot in New York.
