Several times I faced this position vs skillful players and due to pipe-like accessibility of it - it was impossible to capture it:
I think to make it fair - attackers should have an ability to be spawned from the left side so they could flank.

You can actually take that point easily enough once you get the hang of it, the secret is to swim an engineer across and build a rally for infantry on the left side.
You can also massively suppress the enemy by using a HE lobbing vehicle up on the cliff to the right flank there. HMGs can also work in a pinch.
Though just in general, there are a few maps which need touching up with how they are balanced. There are certain maps far worse balanced than this.
The problem with this solutions is that any good player will quickly understand that there is a rally and destroys it.
What Iām talking about is that with equally good teams - attackers need more easy available places than only one bottleneck bridge.
Because defenders have far wider access area to those points
On that map, on the left side there is a section of the left flank that is in the defenders grey area, meaning its very hard for them to destroy a rally there.
Its also easy to miss, but the bridge is only a bottleneck for vehicles, of which they normally do better standing back and firing from the other side anyway.
Infantry can just cross the river downstream a bit for a safe passage, or upstream for a direct passage.
