There are two kinds of cement.
1. Cement that is cracked.
2. Cement that is going to crack.
I use a epoxy type filler for crack repairs at work. It works very well. The most important thing is to prep the cracks properly before you apply the patch. Follow the directions of what ever product you use. Scott

you can just seal the cracks with a good caulk or silicone caulk, there is also a self leveling caulking (more liquid) it will fill to the bottom of the crack and stay level on top.

Using tar can be bad in the long run as you will never be able to resurface the cement with cement, would have to chip away all the tar first...

Once the cracks are sealed, use a silicone or special purpose cement sealer to keep water from penetrating... but this is optional as it will wear off, especially if your driving over the bridge frequently.

Supposedly you can paint POR15 on masonry and supposedly (theres that word again) it has fantastic adhesion and anti-abrasion properties. I dunno, thats just what their literature says.
I painted it on the bottom side of a lawnmower deck, we'll see how it lasts.

Good Deal! A free bridge is a great deal. I think that idea (affordable) answer is in two posts. Fill the cracks with the cement and seal over with an asphaltic compound. I would think that one would want something that "dries" versus the porudcts that stay tacky for a long time.

Congrats on the bridge.

Buy some liquid asphfalt and heat it up to seal crack the hot liquid will find it's way to botton of crack then throw some rock chips on it cheapest and most simple way to seal it

the best thing to fill it with IMHO, is epoxy, it will far outlast any grout filling. also you may also want to purchase some penetrating epoxy sealer for concrete to reduce further water damage. but, i don't think your big crack was the result of water damage.

You would fill cracks in concrete with hydraulic cement. You do not want those cracks there during feezing temperatures, ice will work like wedges to push the concrete further apart. But the bigger question is what is causing this cement bridge to crack in the first place?

Somebody like HD should be able to help you . There are several sealers, glues, and the like made for repairing concrete.
