Shores, 2nd TAF, p. 7, /"... fighter-bombers, which required an average of between 100 and 200 tons of bombs and rockets to destroy a bridge, compared with 640 tons for level bombers."/

Since one bomb is pretty much the same as any other of the same weight, accuracy is the issue and 100-200 tons refers to total delivered with fighter-bomber accuracy.

Of course, some bridges would be metal girders, others stone or even wood. But is makes the amount we drop to destroy a bridge look nowhere near enough.
