(OP)
We have a post tensioned deck bridge. The tendons are in both directions (like two way slab). Can we cut bridge in half for stage construction?
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

Is this part of demolition to reconstruct the bridge? If so, you likely have to provide temporary shoring to support it as you cut the existing strand. As willisv pointed out, there is a lot of stored energy in the cables and they can be dangerous. I recall hearing about 40 years ago that a local worker was cut in half by a broken strand (dunno if this is an urban legend or not). You might begin by locating the strand initially.

Is it demolition or new build? We can only have a stab in the dark if we dont understand the situation!
