A lot.

I feel out of the loop. What happened to the bridge?
You remember that childhood song, London Bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down? That happened, but it's not London

Everyone's blaming the ship, but the bridge should have been built to withstand such an impact.
Edit: Tell me you don't know that pier protection systems exist with saying you don't know that pier protection systems exist.

Just one example of such a system.
The bridge you linked likely wouldn't have been able to withstand the collision of this ship at one of its pillars. Assuming that the numbers are for a fully loaded ship at 120,000 DWT at 7 knots, it could only take about 90% of the momentum maximum that the Dali had (116,000 DWT at 8 knots) at once.
For my American friends that's about 27.56 fully loaded F-35Cs going max speed (Mach 1.6) at the same spot at the same time. Or 312 M1A2 Abrams.
