 B over each end of the bridge. So, my guess is that the bridge isn't in
 Cloudmade's underlying routing data for some reason.

 +1. Looking on other places on the map I guess the data is at least 1 week
 old.

Martin's comment above made me think about how participating in
OpenStreetMap has changed my perspective.  That we can look at a map
and observe that the data is perhaps one week out of date is amazing
to me. I can't imagine saying / hearing that before my participation
in OSM.  Look at what the OpenStreetMap community has done for us and
to us!  We expect perfection.  :-)

So if, in fact, CloudMade has week-old data that is giving sub-optimal
routing results in this case, I think that we should congratulate
ourselves and them.  Look at how much we have come to expect from our
maps.  We must be doing something right.

The bridge itself has not been changed for almost a month and it has been
around since 2006 in OSM. So I am not sure one can judge very much from this
example.
