Perhaps you'd like to add some light grey vertical streaking grime coming from below the walkway supports. If so, I'd reccomend that you do those with a flat brush and thinned artist acrylics. Your pictures are blurry, to my eyes anyway, but some of the your grey looks to be quite splattered coming from your airbrush. I think you should maybe thin your paint a bit more.
