Israel didn’t cross any land bridge.
Read what the word really says.
The sea was sufficiently deep to completely trap and drown the entire Egyptian army when Yehova released the winds that were holding the water back.
It was a real supernatural miracle.

i agree- (Which you’ll see if you go through my comments- I’ve made the same arguments you did here- I’m just stating what some have said- I think they are wrong- I do however think the people crossed on a fairly level, but deep area- not jagged rock- as they had carts, and it would have been quite rough going had it been over say coral outcroppings or rock formations- I believe God supernaturally dried the bed so that the carts and people could traverse it
another key point is that in order to get 2 million people across- at walking speed- in a day, or a few hours or whatever it was- folks have calculated the water path would have had to be very wide- single file at walking speed would have taken far too long- a few people wide- still taken too long- at walking speed- and some claim that it was hundreds of people wide (standing arm to arm- walking- large groups crossing at once- in order to get across in the time frame indicated in the bible)
If that is true- and I think it very likely to be true- then it was no mere wind parting shallow waters for a shot distance or width- it was a supernatural wind that ‘congealed’ the waters in a massive walls on both sides according to the bible- and htis wind dried the sea land so that carts and people could cross- on fairly flatish ground (Yes, I know large parties of people and carts have traversed very rugged mountain peaks as there were plenty of folks to lift wagons over rocks etc- but this would have all taken a fair bit of time- i believe the area they crossed was sandy- and if it was in the Aqaba gulf, then that area is known to be sand and sea grasses- fairly flat grounds-
Folks making the claim that the area was shallow, and in an area known as “The Reed Sea” ignore the fact that the army was drowned, and also ignore the fact that the wall of water was very large- the reeds area would have been even muckier- harder to dry out than sand, and the words used in the bible, yam suph, mean RED sea, not REED sea
As to the land bridge- We’re not talking a structure that goes to the top- or just under hte surface, as soem claim- there is a land bridge in the aqaba gulf- but it is 250 meters underwater- the gulf itself is over 800 meters deep in spots- The depth is 205 meters, and it is 800 meters wide- plenty wide for a massive group of peopel to cross
“The Gulf of Aqaba is a very deep channel of water ranging from 800-1800 meters in the middle. However at the Straits of Tiran, there is a natural land bridge so the deepest point the Israelites would encounter is only 205 meters.
The crossing at the Straits of Tiran is 18 km long and a natural land bridge provides for an 800 meters wide pathway the full distance of the crossing.”
