It' s interesting to notice that you mention that your house is not done and you are frustrated with your husband. Then in the dream you mention that the bridge is missing pieces on the road and then slapping your husband. See how the dream mirrors waking life. Something is incomplete and you are not happy with your husband. A bridge is often a symbol for a transition across some kind of uncertain situation. Your husband drives off the bridge and in waking life you say your husband doesn't want to fix the home.
Definitely seeing your frustrations or feelings about your husband coming out in the dream with the slapping.
A few questions. Have you spoken to your husband about your feelings about the housing situation?" Have you argued with your husband about the home repairs?
Do you feel you need the house repairs as a means to something more in your life, like selling the home? Do you feel you had some plan with your husband to move after fixing up the home and he is not respecting the plan anymore?
Home renovations or fixups can be one of the worst experiences a couple can have so it not unusual for you to be frustrated if you are. Often times it's best for people to move or have everything done at once with a clear schedule or you can have problems start to build up over time.

I have never slapped my husband at any time. the water was grey as well as the surroundings, it seemed everything was very drab. that's all
