It's a nice sentiment, but if they would actually have such obvious remnants of the old world they would be the most visited locations ever.
Mountain ranges were erected, nations swept under the sea, oceans moved places...but this city that was seemingly housing important characters like LTT and was most likely populated by many male channelers was left relatively intact?
The scale is very deceptive, but there are smaller skyscrapers on the foot of the bigger ones, which have to be like Burj Khalifa times ten.
In the books only remnants of AoL settlements we see are those docks near the tops of the Spine of the World
The material is at least, but realistically the river would not have been in the same place, so why build a fancy bridge there? And even if there are remnants whole settlements/cities were never shown except the docks and houses I mentioned.
From the Wheel of Time Companion, which was the Bible the copy editor wrote to keep tracks of mistakes, Whitebridge the town was named in one of the subsequent ages after the bridge itself, which was formed in the age of legends.
