The dam bridge - which has also suffered damage - is 70 km further away and only single-carriageway vs the dual-carriageway of the Antonovsky bridge. There is also the matter that the Russians are probably putting their military supplies on trucks now - after the attacks on the very large, rail-linked centralised supply depots - and they will presumably be giving them priority for road space. I think the supply situation risks becoming difficult for all. Given the symbolic importance of Kherson to the Russians as the only major city taken without being flattened as Mariupol was, I think it's a real toss-up how they will react. The following link talks about the importance of all three bridges
