Later they report they will use a ferry crossing while the bridge is being repaired. Not sure why that would be needed with only minor damages.
That is obviously what Russia will have to do now to maintain any logistics over the river, but obviously ferries are much more of a bottleneck, slower, and with much lower capacity. Ferries will not be able to support a large number of troops.

It turns out enough "potholes" can take a bridge out after all.
Hilarious Russian propaganda where they lie to claim that air defense intercepted the rockets and showing some random road, not the bridge, to claim there is no damage. Truly amateur level.

I know what a pontoon bridge is.
The bridge is 1366m long. Russia's big prefab pontoon bridge is only 382 meters for light loads. The Dnieper is a very large river. Making a pontoon bridge that large is not easy. The banks of the river also aren't simply drive-able.
Even if the Russians tried to make a pontoon bridge, it would just get blown up, too, even more easily.

Remind him of the Russian pontoon bridge that got bombed to hell and how they lost dozens of vehicles a few months ago over this.
