Please, write english.
We have to eliminate any mistakes about the bridge, what we talk about. You think bridge cross Volga north way from Stalingrad or another bridge? So - do screenshot or some painting in map or something please.

There was no bridge, and no reservoir to put it across. Please look at the map I posted in your WIP thread (post no 22). The Volga was much, much, narrower than 1C made it.

Thank you man.
Ok, so lets talk about this bridge.
Question for everybody: Do you want to cancel this bridge? It is non-historical, but it is default...

Guys, its never too late to learn map editing

I say: delete it. Its not historically.

It should be decidely removed. Have you watched ,,Enemy at the gates"? Some Russian soldiers were crossing the Volga by boats under Ju-87 fire. So maybe historically there was some port at the right bank instead of the bridge? It seems probable to me.

Maybe here:

The main ferry landing was on the bank of the Volga to the east of Red Square, while the main railroad station -- of course named "Railroad Station #1" -- was just to the west of Red Square.

I read in some books that there was a Train ferry station in Stalingrad too.
But can't find any evidence atm.

Ah, found it:

I say: delete it. Its not historically. 

But, if this bridge gets removed, will it break missions and campaigns that might use it?

Are there any campaigns/missions that use the bridge?

I vote for removing it, as if it had existed in RL it would have been destroyed early in the battle by one side or the other.

I doubt if any mission/campaign can use that bridge on default map, becauase it is didconnected from highway there:
