Make sure you all wave to the nice FBI agents reading this page!

As far as taking down the bridge, your best bet would be to damage one of the main supports enough with all the explosives you can that it weakens the bridge. Then, like smokewolf suggested, you let the enemy run their convoy on to the bridge and let it collapse from the weight upon the weakened section. Thus topples the section of bridge while inflicting losses upon the enemy convoy.

You can plan all you want, but trying to run a covert op against a bridge like that, without having access to all of the nifty gadgets, gizmos and extractions equipment necessary for proper insertion and extraction will result in a big hairy mess that leave any major plans largely undone.

Make it quick, make it simple, and throw all your explosives at one major point in hopes of successfully weakening the main support structure of the bridge enough that weight and/or nature will bring it down. If you're real lucky, or have more explosives than I think you could probably, reasonably have in Twilight, then you might just be able to drop a section of the bridge right away. It won't be pretty, it won't be quiet, but if you just want something "blowed up", you throw enough explosives at it and it'll drop.

Oh, and it would also help out in a major way if you've got either a civil engineer or a very, very good combat engineer who can pinpoint the exact points, the minimal exact points, that would be best to plant the explosives to cause the greatest weakening effect on the bridge.
