The Kakhovka dam was already damaged days before it collapsed on Tuesday, per the BBC and CNN.
The BBC published two images of the roadway that show the bridge's deteriorating condition between Thursday and Friday.
Both outlets reported that it's unclear if the damage to the roadway affected the eventual breach of the Kakhovka dam.
The Kakhovka dam is also vital to the water supply of Crimea, which was annexed in 2014.
Ukrainian UN ambassador Sergiy Kyslytsya said it was "physically impossible" to destroy the Kakhovka dam from the outside.
