Reconstructing the bridge will be extremely expensive, so the entity that owns it, will instead sell off the bridge and property.
The buyers will start a company that will basically be a Uber-like ferry service that will cost a lot of money to get to the other side. These Uber ferries will only be able to take maybe 8 cars at a time and just getting on board during rush hour will take hours because of the permanent traffic congestion on both sides.
Also, one of the ferries will tip over and drown 6 families because the owners didn't to the math for what happens when a fully loaded truck, carrying ball bearings, parks on the upper deck on a boat that can only carry up to 8 sedans.
The Uber ferry goes bankrupt after a few years due to a crypto crash and the bridge is taken over by a company that promises to develop amphibious cars as a replacement for the bridge. The promised car models will be named after Star Wars stuff and tech bros will love the promises alcoholic card and laugh at at the concept of bridges calling them an outdated technology and saying things such as "But whay if I don't want to get to that exact spot onthe other side?".
After seven years the "amphibious cars" turns out to be another ferry.
My turn on the lathe:

Gee - thanks, Mothman.
