When the suggestion is made to find another bridge, Miles Matheson states that the nearest bridge is in Morgantown which is over 100 miles away. Firstly, there are 15 bridges in Pittsburgh, PA a mere 27 miles away that cross the Allegheny River. However, between the nearest Pittsburgh bridge and the Freeport bridge, there are 4 additional bridges, the farthest one being only 15 miles away, the nearest one being roughly 8 miles.
While this appeared to be a goof, Miles explained the militia had destroyed all of the other bridges.
