"Appears that a section of the Crimean Bridge deck has collapsed"
How much video of the collapsed sections of the bridge is necessary for it to be collapsed?

In war bridges are legit military targets.
Civilians in a war zone are advised to avoid them.

It’s unclear whether the railroad section is repaired yet, from last years attack.

Also it’s worth noting that if the Ukes have missiles that can reach the bridge, its just as easy to hit the railroad portion. Or other portions of the bridge.

That’s as important a datum as the actual damage.

These things aren’t going to “destroy” it, but they can put it out of action for extended periods.

Russia is the sole terrorist.

Russia deliberately targets civilians and civilian infrastructure.

Russia murders civilians in Bucha, Mariupol, Kharkiv, Odesa.

The pro-Putin boot lickers cry foul when their beloved ruZZia attacks civilian apartment buildings with Kh-22 missiles.

I want the Ukraine to cut the bridges, with their water supply to Crimea along with all other infrastructure to Crimea. I want Crimea to become an isolated “island” that has no supply routes to it and not sources of food, water, electricity, military reinforcements, etc. I want the smart people within Crimea to be evacuated by sea to the other side of the Black Sea and mother Russia.

I want only Russian soldiers and those willing to die for mother Russia to be in Crimea, so that they can be allowed to die for mother Russia at the hands of the Ukrainian Army.

Less than 24 hours after the 2022 deal allowing Ukraine to export grain expired.

I’m guessing the timing is not a coincidence.

this is the best pic I can find that shows the damage to the bridge:
Crimea Bridge 17-7-23
it appears that only one side of the carriageway is affected.

From the pics I’ve seen, I’d say Russia will have to take down one and maybe two spans of the bridge B4 they can start repairs.

It looks like only one of the two roadways is out. So its passable at the moment, to reduced traffic. But its clear that something will be coming at it again, probably soon.
