Hi, Has anyone ever looked into using the National Bridge Inventory (NBI)[1] for adding missing bridges to OSM in the US? I'm pretty sure TIGER does not have (most) bridges and I'm very sure the community has not added all the 600k bridges that are in the NBI. There should be sufficient information in the NBI to match to existing OSM features: the name of road on and under the bridge and location (as a point) are recorded.
