I came up with 32 million kg for the steel plating, 1000 tonnes per span - lol.
The interesting thing ( look on google maps) is that the dam @ Nova Kakhova (50 km to front line) has a small 20-30 metre bridge that runs over the canal between the lock gates. Destruction of this would not impact the reservoir. With Himars accuracy that could easily be taken out and the same would apply to repairs there - who would want to be in a russian bridge laying unit.
Much more of a problem to take out may be the box girder railway bridge in the east part of Kherson city , though it seems the approach is concrete rather than girders.
