Can you point out any bridges are built to withstand 100,000 ton ship directly colliding with them?

For whatever reason I don't think you've done the math.

I think you have to look at natural bridges like Beringia for that kind of durability, which would be unfeasable to build as standard infrastructure

The point of most bridge protection systems is to stop a ship before it can directly collide with it. They are usually separate structures.
