[[File:Halo3 diorama 1352-1-.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The Covenant advance is halted by the destruction of the northern bridge.]]
Despite a valiant defense by the Marines, they had no means to hold the bridge to the north. With [[Jiralhanae]] forces surging over it and hitting the Marines' vulnerable flanks, there was only one option remaining. On a 14:00 during a day of the battle, the order came through to destroy the bridge, thus forcing the enemy down into the valley where UNSC trenches lay to slaughter the enemy with fire from elevated positions. However, this was not the case as the Covenant forces had already begun to surge down the trenches with the destruction of the bridge.<ref name="mombasa"/>
