My car has NO damage to it so I'm wondering if I'm even to blame because when I changed lanes I saw enough space and the drive said I cut them off and she breaked and she lost control and she didn't hit my car, but she lost control while trying to stop and hit the bridge so am I to blame?
Here is the picture of the persons car. How much would that cost?

Dude, I would suggest that if there were no witnesses, and you were not given a ticket by the police that you tell her to pound salt. The onus of proof rests with her. She needs to show that your actions caused the accident. BTW, simply saying "he did it" is not enough. Perhaps she over re-acted when she saw you change lanes, maybe there was enough room, but b/c she was speeding she closed that distance quicker than usuual. Maybe her speed caused her to lose control of the vehicle. Perhaps she was not paying attention to the road, ie: playing with the radio, or cell phone. Her lack of attention is not your fault.
Worse case is it could go 50/50.
