In addition the cadence of footsteps across a bridge can cause vibrations which the bridge would not be rated for.

Give it up. We're talking allowing groups of people across over the span of days.

There's no cadence if they break step. Do you think a crowd of bedraggled hurricane refugees is going to cross that bridge in step? In a sufficiently large population, footfalls would be continuous, not rhythmic. This isn't rocket science.
