Editing Bridge to nowhere (section)

==Incomplete and damaged bridges==
===Argentina===
* The two-lane elevated concrete vehicle bridge across the Cosquin River in Cosquin, province of Cordoba, Argentina, that was intended to connect Calle Pedro Ortiz, to the west, to Avenida Capitan Aviador Omar Castillo, to the east, was never opened.  The span of the bridge itself was complete, but it was never connected to the road system on either end, and the ends of the span remained blocked by steep piles of rubble.  In lieu of the elevated vehicle bridge, the small, low Onofre Marimon Bridge connected the two streets for small volumes of pedestrian traffic.  In 2020 it was finally connected at both ends and open to vehicle traffic,<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IR4LcqYepgI | title=Nuevo puente: Mercedes Sosa en Cosquín | website=[[YouTube]] | date=7 January 2020 }}</ref> and the lower bridge was demolished. The remains of the bridge can still be seen at Puente Mercedes Sosa.

===Belgium===
* Rue Emile Pathé/Emile Pathéstraat in [[Forest, Belgium|Forest]], [[Brussels]] ({{coord| 50.7996|N| 4.3067|E|}}), was originally intended to be part of the southern arc of the [[Brussels Ring|R0 Brussels motorway ring]], which was never built owing to opposition from local residents. It now functions mostly as a car park.


===Bulgaria===
* Bulgaria's capital city of Sofia has a highspeed city bypass called [[Northern Speed Tangent (Sofia)|Northern Speed Tangent]], which upon completion had three bridges with two clover-style interchanges. These three bridges were built with the intention to connect the north neighbourhoods of Sofia, however since 2016, when the high speed bypass was built, they have not been connected to the city and are currently bridges to nowhere. Plans are being developed for finally connecting the bridges to the city proper, but due to constant changes and disputed between the local government and road agencies, these plans are frozen.

===Canada===
* Port Nelson Bridge, an isolated rail bridge near [[Port Nelson, Manitoba]]. The connecting rail line was never finished due to labour and material shortages, a lack of financial or political support, and high cost. The envisioned port was also poorly designed and was found to require excessive [[dredging]] due to significant sand bars. The project was greatly criticized by several politicians (the media calling it a "gigantic blunder").<ref>{{cite journal |last= Malaher |first= David |title= Port Nelson and the Hudson Bay Railway |date=Autumn 1984 |journal= Manitoba History |issue= 8 |publisher= [[Manitoba Historical Society]] |issn= 0226-5036 |url= http://www.mhs.mb.ca/docs/mb_history/08/hudsonbayrailway.shtml |access-date= 2010-08-20}}</ref>
* [[Ontario Highway 69]] south of [[Ontario Highway 522]] near Grundy Provincial Park.  The 2 bridges are for the southbound and northbound lanes of the future [[Ontario Highway 400]] connecting [[Greater Sudbury]] and [[Toronto]].
* Gaglardi Way in [[Burnaby|Burnaby, British Columbia]], ended suddenly as an overpass of [[British Columbia Highway 1|Highway 1]] at the south end at just a forest, due to a residential subdivision beyond the point with [[Cloverleaf interchange|two cloverleaf ramps]] that were blocked off, now removed along with the dead end peculiarity in the 2000's.

===China===
* [[Yalu River Broken Bridge]] in [[Dandong]]. The south span was destroyed during the [[Korean War]].
* [[New Yalu River Bridge]] in Dandong. The US$330 million bridge was completed in 2015, but on the [[North Korea]]n side it is not connected to the road network.<ref>{{cite news |last=Wong |first=Sue-Lin |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-northkorea-nuclear-china-idUSKCN11H05F |title=Bridge to nowhere shows China's failed efforts to engage North Korea |work=Reuters |date=11 September 2016 |access-date=11 December 2016}}</ref>
* [[Nandu River Iron Bridge]] in [[Hainan]] is a partially collapsed, steel truss bridge over the [[Nandu River]]. It was built by the [[Imperial Japanese Army]] during the [[Second Sino-Japanese War]]. In October 2000, flooding caused the collapse of the western part of the bridge, leaving three trusses.

===Czech Republic===
* The [[Borovsko Bridge]], an unfinished motorway bridge from the 1930s near Borovsko, part of [[Bernartice (Benešov District)|Bernartice]] municipality, [[Central Bohemian Region]].
* There are several bridges to nowhere, started to be built as a part of extraterritorial highway [[Vienna]]-[[Wrocław]] (so-called "Hitler's highway"), which remain unfinished and unconnected to the road network.

===France===
[[File:St Benezet bridge - Avignon, France - panoramio.jpg|alt=|thumb|[[Pont Saint-Bénézet]] in [[Avignon]], France]]

* [[Pont Saint-Bénézet]] in [[Avignon]] over the [[Rhône]] river. Several arches were broken by flood in the middle of the 17th century.
* The [[viaduc du Caramel]] and [[viaduc du Carei]] of the former tramway line from [[Menton]] to [[Sospel]].
* The jetée from the [[Grande Arche de La Défense]] to the [[U Arena]] in [[Nanterre]]. Its final stairs are not to be completed.

===Germany===
[[File:Soda Bruecke bei Euskirchen.jpg|thumb|Soda-Brücke Euskirchen]]
The colloquial name for a bridge to nowhere in Germany is "Soda-Brücke" (a pun on "so da" = "just there"). Many of the bridges were built in the 1970s as part of the [[Autobahn]] network, but the oil crisis and rising environmental consciousness slowed many highway extensions.

* The [[Bundesautobahn 66]] had a bridge near Ahl ([[Bad Soden-Salmünster]]) built in 1966 that was not connected until 1994. 
* The bridge near [[Euskirchen]] was planned to be part of Autobahn 56. Construction was stopped, and the existing parts of the highway were renamed [[Bundesautobahn 562]]. ({{coord|50|40|39|N|6|44|54|E|type:landmark_region:DE|name=Soda-Brücke}})
* The bridge near Merklinde, a suburb of [[Castrop-Rauxel]], was to be part of the B245 expressway and the "New [[Hellweg]]". The bridge was completed in 1978 but was never connected. ({{coord| 51.5374|N| 7.3391|E|type:landmark_region:DE|name=Soda-Brücke}})
* The Schänzlebrücke in [[Konstanz]] was built 1975 but not connected until 2007. ({{coord|47.6701|N|9.1630|E|type:landmark_region:DE|name=Soda-Brücke}})

===Honduras===
* The [[Choluteca Bridge|Bridge of Rising Sun]] in [[Choluteca, Honduras|Choluteca]], completed in 1998, became a bridge to nowhere the same year when [[Hurricane Mitch]] hit Honduras. While the bridge itself survived with minor damage, the roads on either end got entirely washed away and the [[Choluteca River]] had carved itself a new channel on the side, leaving the bridge to span dry ground. It eventually got reconnected to the highway in 2003.

=== Hong Kong ===
* In New Kowloon, a flyover used to connect [[Prince Edward Road East]] outside [[Regal Hotels International|Regal Meridien Hotel]] to the old [[Kai Tak Airport]] (coded K72). The airport has since moved and been demolished, leaving the flyover unused,<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://www.google.com/maps/place/Hong+Kong/@22.3295044,114.1934136,368m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x3403e2eda332980f:0xf08ab3badbeac97c!8m2!3d22.3193039!4d114.1693611 | title=Hong Kong}}</ref> until a new offramp was built in 2020 to connect the K72 flyover to {{ill|Olympic Avenue|zh-tw|世運道}} (Road D1) and opened to traffic in September 2021.
* In Victoria City on Hong Kong Island, the western end of [[Connaught Road West|Connaught Road West Flyover]] (part of [[Route 4 (Hong Kong)|Route 4]]) was intended to be connected to the shelved [[Green Island, Hong Kong#Shelved reclamation plan|Green Island Link]] and a trunk road along the southwestern coast of the island (previously numbered Route 7).
* A flyover over [[Tsing Tsuen Bridge|Tsing Tsuen Interchange]] in [[Tsuen Wan New Town|Tsuen Wan]], [[New Territories]].
* Railway viaducts to the northwest of [[Lai King (MTR)|Lai King station]] in southern [[Kwai Chung]], New Territories, near [[Gin Drinker's Bay|Kwai Chung Park]].

===Hungary===
*A former railway bridge sits over the [[Váci út]] in [[Budapest]]. Its rail line was disconnected in the early 1990s, and the east side of the bridge was demolished to make room for new construction. ({{coord|47.554984|19.075610|type:landmark_region:HU}}) A second bridge sits over a minor road on the same rail line to the southwest, and the former station is now a parking lot.

===India===
* [[Broken bridge, Chennai|Broken bridge]], in [[Chennai]], [[South India]], partly collapsed due to strong currents of the river in 1977 and has never been repaired.

===Indonesia===
* An unused double-track concrete railway bridge over Ngaglik street in [[Surabaya]]. It was originally built for a proposed railway line that would connect [[Surabaya Gubeng railway station|Gubeng]] and [[Surabaya Pasar Turi railway station|Pasar Turi station]] on an elevated line. Due to [[Great Depression|economic crisis in the 1930s]], which was followed by the [[Second World War]], and lastly the [[Indonesian National Revolution]], the project was never completed; the bridge stood as testimony of the forgotten project. ({{coord| 7|14|56|S| 112|45|11|E|type:landmark_region:ID|name=Ngaglik-Viaduct}})

* Also, on [[Solo-Kertosono Toll Road]], Donohudan 1 bridge between Adi Sumarmo Airport Toll Gate & Ngemplak Toll Gate. To be exact, at Km 501+300, is a bridge to nowhere, the purpose is unknown. ({{coord| 7|30|37.691|S| 110|46|57.593|E|type:landmark_region:ID|name=Donohudan 1}})

=== Italy ===
* The [[Pons Aemilius]] in [[Rome]]

=== Latvia ===
* An isolated railway bridge in [[Tukums municipality]] over [[Abava|Abava river]] which was built for a planned railroad line [[Tukums]]-[[Kuldīga]] which was never finished due to the [[Second World War]]. ({{coord| 56.9124456|N| 22.9760692|E|type:landmark_region:LV|}})

===Nepal===
* The [[Bridge to Nowhere (Nepal)|Bridge to Nowhere]], being built, is an incomplete road bridge over the Daroudi River in [[Gorkha Municipality]], meant to connect Nareshwor, [[Gorkha Municipality]] - 3 and Jarebar, [[Siranchowk Rural Municipality]] - 5.

===New Zealand===
* The [[Bridge to Nowhere (New Zealand)|Bridge to Nowhere]], built in 1936, is an isolated {{convert|40|m}} road bridge over the Mangapurua Stream in [[Whanganui National Park]], North Island.

===Norway===
* [[Eintveit Bridge]], a {{convert|25|m}}-long two-lane road bridge in [[Etne]] municipality in [[Hordaland]] county, was completed in 1962 and was intended to be part of a road on the northwestern side of [[Åkrafjorden]]. But the road was never built, and the bridge has remained unused except occasionally by hikers. In 2014 broadcaster [[NRK]] organized the "opening" of the bridge. Two cars were flown in by helicopter and then drove across the bridge.<ref>[http://www.nrk.no/hordaland/opna-brua-52-ar-for-seint-1.11461393 NRK: Ei 52 år forseinka bruopning] (3 February 2014, retrieved 19 August 2014)</ref><ref>[http://www.nrk.no/hordaland/_-dette-var-ein-vill-reportasjeide-1.11524922 NRK: – Dette var ein vill reportasjeidé] (7 February 2014, retrieved 19 August 2014)</ref>

===Philippines===
* The Loboc Bridge in the town of [[Loboc, Bohol]]. A steel and concrete bridge which commenced construction in the 1970s but was left unfinished allegedly due to opposition from the Loboc parishioners since the bridge might destroy the 400-year old [[Loboc Church]].<ref>{{cite news|last1=Campo|first1=Liv|last2=Berondo|first2=Wenna|title=Santiago inspects unfinished bridge in Loboc, Bohol|url=https://www.philstar.com/cebu-news/2005/09/09/295865/santiago-inspects-unfinished-bridge-loboc-bohol|access-date=26 March 2018|work=The Philippine Star|date=9 September 2005}}</ref>

* Several structures on unfinished [[Olimpijka]] motorway. Its construction started in 1976 with the propaganda goal of completing it in time for the [[Moscow Olympics]] in 1980 (hence its unofficial name, as part of Berlin-Moscow connection). Because of the economic crisis which hit the country in the late 1970s and continued throughout the 1980s, only a small section was opened. Construction of another stretch resumed only in 2001, as a part of [[A2 autostrada (Poland)|A2 motorway]]. Since 2010 the plan was to finish the whole link between the border with Germany and Warsaw, this time for the [[UEFA Euro 2012]] football championships. This meant that weathered remains of 1970s structures had to be demolished in the 2010s.
* Several structures on unfinished [[Berlinka]], [[Nazi Germany]]'s ''[[Reichsautobahn]] Berlin-Königsberg'' started in 1936. Some of them have been demolished as late as the 2010s.

===Romania===
*Ciurel Bridge is an unfinished infrastructure project located in Bucharest, Romania. It gained significant attention and earned the nickname "Bridge to Nowhere" or "Bridge to Nothing" on social media. The construction was initiated as part of an expansion towards the A1 Highway, but the remaining section of the project, an 8.3-kilometer road, has not been built. Currently, the bridge only serves as a left turn and resolves the traffic issue for those traveling from Virtuții Road to Splaiul Independenței. Pro Infrastructura, an organization that monitors infrastructure projects, argues that the Bucharest City Hall should have made a decision regarding the continuation of the road to the A1 Highway, covering the distance of 8.3 kilometers. Without this connection, the Virtuții Junction (Ciurel Passage) does not effectively address the traffic congestion, as it was originally intended to alleviate the traffic on Iuliu Maniu Boulevard. Sorin Ioniță, an activist who has closely followed the project, criticized it, stating, "This passage will cross a T-intersection on a picturesque bridge with ramps, descend on the other side, and lead the cars to the exact same place as before, Virtuții Road. All at an impressive cost of over 400 million lei. This road passage in Sector 6 is probably the most useless and foolish investment in Romania since '89,". The construction of the passage began in 2010 and was initially scheduled for completion in December 2014. Delays in the project were caused by litigation and financial constraints.

===Russia===
[[File:Pavlovsky Posad Parizh bridge 06.JPG|thumb|right|The bridge of Vachevskaya Street in [[Pavlovsky Posad]]]]
* A two-lane vehicle bridge in [[Pavlovsky Posad]], completed in 2011, continues the minor Vachevskaya Street in the west across the Vokhna River. In the east, there is a dead end, as no vehicle road has been built there, with only a footpath branching off to another street. The bridge may become integrated into traffic once a new road tunnel under railway is completed nearby, and together they would replace a problematic level crossing.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.skmost.ru/objects/auto/pavlovsky-posad/ |script-title=ru:Путепровод в Павловском Посаде |language=ru |access-date=2014-12-22}}</ref> The bridge was open for vehicle traffic in July 2015.<ref>[http://mosreg.ru/multimedia/novosti/all/gubernator-proinspektiroval-stroitelstvo-polikliniki-otkryl-puteprovod-i-vstretilsya-s-zhitelyami-v-/#undefined Губернатор проинспектировал строительство поликлиники, открыл путепровод и встретился с жителями в Павловском Посаде] {{in lang|ru}} ''mosreg.ru'', 2015-07-22; Retrieved 2016-04-06</ref>

===Slovakia===
* [[Viaduct in Kopráš]], a never-used railway viaduct in the village of [[Kopráš]] near the town of [[Jelšava]] in south Slovakia. The viaduct is {{convert|120|m}} long and {{convert|40|m}} high. It was finished in 1945 but was never used, because the railway to the viaduct was never completed due to the events of [[World War II]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://kosarnik.sk/strateny-viadukt|title=Stratený viadukt &#124; Košarník|website=kosarnik.sk}}</ref> Next to the viaduct are two finished tunnels without any connection to railways. The tunnel near the village of Slavošovce is {{convert|2800|m}} long, and the tunnel near Kopráš is {{convert|350|m}} long. These tunnels to nowhere were also never used, because railway construction ended in 1948 before its completion.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.vlaky.net/zeleznice/spravy/000654-Gemerske-spojky/|title=Gemerské spojky|website=VLAKY.NET}}</ref>

=== Taiwan ===
* The [[Longteng Bridge]] was a brick arch bridge in [[Sanyi, Miaoli|Sanyi Township]] that carried the [[Former Mountain line|TRA Old Mountain Line]]. The [[1935 Shinchiku-Taichū earthquake|1935 Shinchiku-Taichū Earthquake]] caused all arches to fall, leaving behind the piers. The [[1999 Jiji earthquake|1999 Jiji Earthquake]] further damaged the piers, which made the government preserve the ruins as a monument to the two earthquakes. It is currently a popular tourist attraction, especially during [[Vernicia fordii|tung flower]] season in April to May.

* Barracks Road and Cavalry Street bridges north of the A671 Westway in [[Burnley]], [[Lancashire]], cross the East Lancashire railway line and were stopped up at both ends following the construction of the [[M65 motorway|M65]] in 1981.
* An abandoned highway bridge at {{coord|51.279002|-0.154646|scale:5000|display=inline}}. It was planned for the [[M23 motorway|M23]] to extended further north from its abrupt ending as part of the [[London Ringways]] scheme. Some of the southern end is still accessible and used as a depot for highway maintenance, but most of it is fenced off, notably when the A23 and open M23 pass under wide bridges.

* [[Bridge to Nowhere (San Gabriel Mountains)]] (built 1936), an isolated road bridge over the [[San Gabriel River (California)|San Gabriel River]] in southern [[California]]. The connecting road was never completed. The bridge is a popular destination for hikers.
* A pair of unused overpasses near what is now the southern terminus of [[Connecticut Route 11#Unused bridges, roadbed and ramps|Connecticut State Route 11]].  These bridges were built as part of the original plan for Route 11, which would have seen it extend further south to I-95 in New London.  Construction was halted in 1972 due to lack of funding.
* [[Fort Duquesne Bridge]] (built 1963), a road bridge over the [[Allegheny River]] in [[Pittsburgh]], Pennsylvania, which ended mid-air until the ramps were completed in 1969.
* [[Miles Glacier Bridge]] (built 1910), also known as the "Million Dollar Bridge", was converted from railroad use to motor vehicle use; It is at the northern end of the unfinished [[Copper River Highway]] near [[Cordova, Alaska]]. Construction stopped in 1964 when an earthquake damaged the {{convert|472|m|ft|adj=on|order=flip}} bridge. Although since repaired and reopened, the bridge is nonetheless currently of limited utility due to damage at other points along the route.
* [[Hoan Bridge]] (built 1973), a {{convert|3|km|mi|adj=on|order=flip|0}} road bridge over the [[Milwaukee River]] in [[Milwaukee]], Wisconsin, which was unused until access roads were completed in 1977, was lacking freeway connections at the southern end until 1998, and was "going nowhere again" for two months while closed for major repairs after a span partially collapsed in December 2000.
* [[Mebane's Bridge]] is a road bridge over the [[Dan River (Virginia)|Dan River]] in [[Rockingham County, North Carolina|Rockingham County]] on the outskirts of the town of [[Eden, North Carolina]], which was at the center of the landmark ''Luten Bridge Co. vs. Rockingham County'' lawsuit that made jurisprudence in 1929 when the contractor continued work on it well after the contract to build it was rescinded and subsequently sued to be reimbursed for this work.
* Pier 19 (demolished 2012) of a proposed second span of the [[Ambassador Bridge]] connecting [[Windsor, Ontario]], and [[Detroit]], Michigan. No second span had ever been approved for this privately owned bridge, largely because the proposal would dump excessive traffic onto Windsor city surface streets, but its owners built ramps for the proposed span in an attempt to counter an internationally supported proposal for a [[Detroit River International Crossing]] to the [[Windsor-Essex Parkway]] further downriver.<ref>{{cite news| title=Moroun's 'bridge to nowhere' dismantled| url=https://windsorstar.com/news/Moroun+bridge+nowhere+dismantled/6520868/story.html |author=Dave Battagello| publisher=Windsor Star| date=April 26, 2012}}</ref> The unauthorized ramp was removed in 2012 by court order.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.freep.com/article/20120417/BUSINESS06/204170331/| url-status = dead| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140106033353/http://www.freep.com/article/20120417/BUSINESS06/204170331/| archive-date = 2014-01-06| title = Controversial ramp along Ambassador Bridge being removed {{!}} Detroit Free Press {{!}} freep.com}}</ref>

* The [[San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge]] bicycle and pedestrian path was opened in September 2013, but was only connected on the [[Oakland, California|Oakland]] end of the bridge. In October 2016, the connection to [[Yerba Buena Island]] was opened, but {{as of|2018|lc=y}} there is no bicycle or pedestrian access across the western portion of the Bay Bridge to [[San Francisco]].<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://www.baybridgeinfo.org/path |title = BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN PATH &#124; Bay Bridge Info|date = 17 March 2021}}</ref>
