walking down the bridge vs walking across the bridge

Both phrases are correct, but they convey slightly different meanings. 'Walking down the bridge' implies walking along the length of the bridge. 'Walking across the bridge' is more commonly used and describes moving from one end of the bridge to the other. The choice between the two depends on the specific direction of movement you want to emphasize.
