During the retreat, afaik, the bridge was destroyed before all troops could cross.
And of course, the French also crossed the Waal but as is was so cold, they could use the ice on the rivers to cross. In this situation a Dutch waterline was of no use.
In former times the ice would be broken by troops but the Dutch army was so demoralised that they only thought of retreating.
