What impressed me was that it looks like openstreetmap shows the bridge as down already.

OpenStreetMap editors are just as passionate as Wikipedia editors. :)

Nicer community and less bikeshedding.

Makes sense, you want anyone following GPS to divert from the scene ASAP. Caching-wise, I see the updated bridge at zoom 15+ but the old intact bridge at zoom ≤14.

Looks up there to me [1]. If you're referring to the red colour, zoom out - all the big highways are that colour.

Tiles are cached on many servers worldwide.

The API shows the data was modified to mark the bridge as collapsed.

cdn cache probably,

It looked like this to me.

Yes, probably tile cache on different servers. I tried from some random TOR exit node and got a mixture of tiles showing parts of the "before" and parts of the "after": https://imgur.com/zLAdmUc
