There were cracks on the bridge, and the railings were damaged.
Major Kyle carefully scanned the bridge with his sense and asked Shuan, "Shuan, how long will it take for you to repair the bridge?"
"It will take a day to repair the whole bridge," Shuan replied as he placed his hand on the bridge and sensed it carefully.
The bridge hasn't collapsed, but it has many cracks on it. Driving a car straight over it would definitely be dangerous. If they want to cross the bridge, they have to repair it. Moreover, this was the only bridge connecting the northern region to the rest of the country. Before the apocalypse, high-speed trains and airplanes were the main ways of transportation. Now that trains and airplanes cannot be used, roads were the only source of transportation. If they didn't repair it carefully, the rest of the people behind them would be trapped in the small region. There was no guarantee that people with earth abilities would emerge. It might or might not.
