"Bomb the Bridge" is a job in the A Starry Eyed Encounter episode of Sly 2: Band of Thieves.

This is also the first of three parts of "Operation: Hippo Drop," the next two parts being "Tango with Carmelita" and "Clear the Way for Murray."

Written Synopsis
Upon reaching the mission marker, Sly tells Bentley that he and Murray are moving into position and asks if Bentley still thinks he can demolish the large bridge. Bentley states it doesn't take an engineer to figure out how to blow up a bridge and he will start by using his bombs to destroy the lower cleats. Once the structure destabalizes, the retainer rings on the upper cleats should pop right off, which will enable Bentley to destroy the upper cleats and caush the bridge to crash down. Sly warns Bentley to watch his head when the bridge becomes unstable as the gang need Bentley's brain in one piece.

On the lower level, Bentley will need to destroy 9 cleats. After 2 cleats are destroyed, debris will start falling down and Bentley must avoid them so he won't take damage. Once all 9 cleats are destroyed, Bentley will jump to the main structure and the lower level will be destroyed. Bentley must now destroy 8 cleats in order to destroy the main structure, but he must take care to avoid the falling stones. After the eight cleats are destroyed, the bridge will crumble apart. Bentley will notify Sly that the bridge is down and that he will warm up the van and get the RC chopper started as part of the final part of the heist.
