Missiles can only do so much damage to a large structure like this bridge. IIRC, the Ukrainians have tried those before.

Even the famous truck full of explosives weakened the bridge, but it didn't go down.

It would take an absolutely huge amount of explosives to take the bridge down.

Not really, it needs something very heavy moving very fast to hammer a few pylons 3- 4 pylons out from shore.

Infrastructure is surprisingly weak to kinetic impacts applied in the wrong direction.
