The term “critical infrastructure” sounds inappropriate for building a new (huge) target that can be rendered useless with minimal intervention.

The Kerch Strait Bridge (aka Crimean Bridge) still stands despite repeated directed hits, albeit occasionally disrupting traffic for extended periods during repairs. The resilience of a bridge during conflict is matter of engineering and defensive tactics. But it does pose the question of whether a large suspension bridge is generally more difficult or easier to defend and repair than a very long box girder bridge.
