AFAIK at that time sensible and respectable people avoided travelling by
night, but when did travelling actually cease? Did most people seek
shelter while there was still plenty of light, or had travelling
schedules with much leeway, so they sure did not have unplanned night
travl? Or was it more common to cut it close?
And while bridges are valuable property, they hardly can be stolen, and
destroying them without an army, constuction equipment, catapults or
similiar in one night is a difficult thing to do especially if it is a
stone bridge. AFAIK destroying buildings to make political statements was
not in high fashion at that time. So the motivation for any guards to
investigate and if the investigation takes a while, start a night
operation, just because someone saw some scary people on the bridge, will
be limited. At night nobody will use the bridge anyway, and for the rest
it's good enough to check it out in the morning.
Toll bridges would make my scenario impossible in that form though.
Either there is a nightguard at the bridge, or there'd be people who
attempt to cross the bridge at off hours.
I am banking on the reluctance towards nightly outdoor activities at TL2
mainly. I am not really sure if i am overdoing it here.
