I recall that we always had to break stride when marching across bridges, but I also recall that this has long been debunked, a properly designed bridge is in no danger at all from people marching across it in step.

There was that British bridge, but it was suspension:

It is easy to see how a suspension bridge would resonate fairly easily. Also see the Tacoma Narrows bridge.
