Since I'm in Chattanooga and next to the super bridge at the TN/GA border I'll send him a message today offering help. That stretch that he has called a bridge is elevated out of the flood plain.. The road bed is has been built up about 10 to 15 feet in most places to get it out of flooding...and it floods regularly. If you traveled along this section during a flood event I can completely see someone calling it a bridge. There's water along the east side and in the median. In the worst events (and we've had quite a few in the last 4 months) the northbound lane is out of the water by a foot or less......but then if you're even slightly familiar with imagery/photography you can see it's not.

I know NE2 has already contacted him as well as I alerted him about this user (I also alerted Mike).

I think this user did know he was editing the database by this comment he did leave on his first ever changeset, "Merged 85" (see: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/9401877). However, all of his other edits didn't have a comment.

But, he was using Potlatch 2.2 for all his edits, and since it doesn't have a "live" mode like 1 did, he had to at least acknowledge that he was making a change before it got uploaded. I also see in http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/9427607 that he created two super long false bridges on I-75 near the GA/TN border which isn't good. :(
