Good thought. Ideally, you slow up before the bridge, and then be on maintenance throttle over the bridge (i.e. not accelerating, not de-accelerating). If you were at the limit of traction on the bridge and then let off the gas, the additional drag on the drive-wheels could induce a skid on those wheels.
Growing up in a ton of snow and back roads taught me to watch the hell out for bridges. The worst are the ones that you can't even tell are bridges. Usually there are signs, but sometimes those signs are under snow banks already.
The best was my dad putting studded snows on the front wheels of my mom's car. He left all-seasons on the back. Oversteer all day long. Was fun, but certainly not a good idea IMO.
