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.
I think it would be very useful as a Keepright-style site that
automatically checks for a bridge there but also allows saying the NBI
data is bogus. (Perhaps we could then send any such information to the
NBI?) Anything more automated than that would really not work due to
location differences, name differences, and other issues.
