Holy crap, that looks a lot easier to take out than I imagined. Maybe a good design in general, but not so much for resisting carefully placed explosive charges.

Going to be an engineering nightmare to fix that since you have the weight of the bridge already on top of it and the formation below is going to be shattered. They obviously consulted a civil engineer before placing the explosives.
Also there are probably surprises left for divers, shock waves travel a long way in incompressible fluids.

I’m pretty sure those are piles, and they will not be easy to destroy, or weaken.

They’re still driving on it though, right?

Probably the steel is now in free contact with the sea water. Basically rusting in speed mode.
rust takes 14 times the volume of steel –> concrete shatters

The PR damage is devastating so anything else is a bonus IMHO.

Surely 5-10 Neptune missiles along the length of the railway bridge would put it out of action for months? Then the same on the road side.

Now the attack makes more sense.
