Often, if a bridge is named, I think it should be rendered. In Brisbane, for example, everybody knows the Storey Bridge. Hardly anybody recognises the name of the road that crosses it (which is no longer than the bridge plus ramps). If you were given directions in cross the river on the Story bridge (not uncommon), most maps won't help you find it.
