Done - But both towers are 240 meters in height. The one on the manmade island sits on the island, so it's slightly elevated, but the exact same height as the other tower.

And, actually, there are a total of three towers. One you did mix up. The Western Shore pylon of this trio is actually an 80 meter tall tower, then there is a 240m tower (253m elevation) on a manmade island in the middle of the river, and the Eastern Shore pylon is last also at 240m.
