I won't put all of my issue on Google maps, also the County takes a big share. But when I was visiting my hometown recently I heard about a bridge that had been taken out months previously and was in the process of being replaced.

None of the signs said "bridge out" just "road closed ahead". The state maps that overlayed the area but about another project showed no information about the bridge being out for most of a year.

Google happily routed over the bridge that had been out for months. I reported it but haven't followed up on it. It's open again now recently.

It's almost like no one wanted to acknowledge the bridge being out even though it got reported in local media early on.

I can hardly believe there was no barrier to a drop from a missing bridge. I mean people can easily do worse driving off of a paved roadway but to being continuing on a what seems like a safe path is just nuts.
