For the Germans it was critical in order to position heavy ordinance in the path of the advancing allies. For the Americans it was critical to shore up multiple access points to generate multiple fronts in their push towards Germany.

That movie's great for so many reasons, not the least of which being the historical accuracy.

I see. So they are preserving the bridge for the allies. I would have blown it up and saved my fighters.
