I believe a 4-ship of F-16s firing 8 JASSMs would drop at least 1 span. (Kerch Bridge)

Where would you put them? I guess they could target the suspension bridge, but its supports look particularly massive, compared to the supports of the roadways to and from the suspension bridge part. Is there a particular sweet spot for disassembling such bridges?

If we can only drop one span, do the side coming in from Russia, as a sign for them to make use of the exit, while it still stands...

That is a good question. How deep is water under the ship crossing span portion? Would dropping the ship opening span impede ships passing through that area?

Dropping the ship crossing bridge span would be a far greater repair project than any of the other spans.

Considering the weight and stress on that portion I would imagine gravity would help in its destruction
