Damn that's gonna be hard to get removed.

The cost of the bridge + the cost to repair the rig + the cost to modify and unbuild part of the rig to do be fixed, they may just scrape it and build a new one. As for the bridge, they may have to take out a section, though it lookes relatively undamaged (the bridge I mean).
