Editing Bridge to nowhere (section)

==Obsolete bridges and approaches==
===Canada===
* [[Ontario Highway 548]] in Canada has a short stub of roadway (with double-yellow line still visible) next to a more recent bridge approach. 
* The former [[Bay of Quinte Railway]] mainline in [[Greater Napanee|Napanee]] (acquired by the now-defunct [[Canadian Northern Railway]] in 1910, extended to a [[Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario|Smiths Falls station]] but abandoned by the late 1970s) still has an [[Ontario Highway 401]] overpass. The rail overpass served a [[Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company|Goodyear]] tyre factory across the highway until the track was disconnected at [[Napanee railway station|Napanee station]] in 2010;<ref>{{cite web | url=https://tracksidetreasure.blogspot.com/2010/09/cns-millhaven-spur.html | title=Trackside Treasure: CN's Millhaven Spur | date=28 September 2010 }}</ref> it now goes nowhere. A [[bascule bridge]] on the same defunct line crosses the UNESCO-listed [[Rideau Canal]] at [[Smiths Falls, Ontario]]; that rail bridge sits permanently opened to marine traffic but is protected as part of a listed historic site.<ref>[https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=2194&dat=19831108&id=Cq8yAAAAIBAJ&sjid=Ne8FAAAAIBAJ&pg=6238,4937729 "New canal head may change hiring methods"], ''Ottawa Citizen'', Nov 8, 1983 (railway bridge is second-last paragraph)</ref>
* [[Canadian National Railway|CN's]] Lachine Canal Swing Bridge in [[Montreal]], Canada, an abandoned railway bridge that has been left in the 'open' position in the middle of the [[Lachine Canal]] between its successor rail bridge and the Wellington Bridge.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WMV1N3_Railway_Swing_Bridge_Lachine_Canal |title=Railway Swing Bridge - Lachine Canal |publisher=Waymarking |access-date=14 May 2018}}</ref>
* The [[Michigan Central Railway Bridge]] over the [[Niagara Falls|Niagara Gorge]] between [[Niagara Falls, Ontario]] and [[Niagara Falls, New York]], owned by [[Canadian Pacific Kansas City]], carried a single railway track until 2001. The tracks on either side of the bridge have since been entirely removed and the bridge itself is fenced off on the ends as well as walled off in the middle.

===United Arab Emirates===
* In the [[United Arab Emirates]], a [[suspension bridge]] links [[Abu Dhabi]] city and Hodariyat island. The bridge was opened in 2012, but vehicles are not allowed to use it. It appeared to be a waste of money.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thenational.ae/blogs/scene-heard/spotted-hrithik-or-katrina-around-town |title=The National – The Middle East.

There are also some small cafes there.

===United States===
* The [[Abandoned Pennsylvania Turnpike]] features several bridges that are no longer used for their intended purpose of vehicular traffic, but are still used by pedestrians and cyclists. The [[Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission]] demolished two of the bridges in 2005, one over [[U.S. Route 30 in Pennsylvania|US 30]] in [[Breezewood, Pennsylvania]] and the other further east on Pump Station Road, partially to mark the property lines between the PTC-owned sections that still connect to the active mainline [[Pennsylvania Turnpike]] and the section that was sold off to [[Southern Alleghenies Conservancy]] in 2001, the latter of which owns the section that features the [[Rays Hill Tunnel|Rays Hill]] and [[Sideling Hill Tunnel]]s.
* The [[Illinois Central Missouri River Bridge]] between [[Omaha, Nebraska|Omaha]], [[Nebraska]] and [[Council Bluffs, Iowa|Council Bluffs]], [[Iowa]] is a disused double-swing railroad bridge. Closed to rail traffic in 1980, the eastern span was secured in the open position to allow for unimpeded river traffic. Initially, the bridge was planned to be used as a contingency should issues affect the [[Union Pacific Missouri River Bridge]] approximately {{convert|2|mi|km}} to the south, but the rails that formed the approach on the Iowa side were removed in the mid-2000s.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.johnweeks.com/river_missouri/pages/omaha07.html|title=Illinois Central Drawbridge, Omaha, NE|website=www.johnweeks.com}}</ref>
* A bridge that once carried West Mound Street over [[Interstate 70 in Ohio|I-70]]/[[Interstate 71|I-71]] in [[Columbus, Ohio]] was abandoned in the 1990s due to redevelopment projects that left West Mound Street with two discontinuous sections. The bridge subsequently became a [[Homelessness|homeless]] camp before being cleared by the city of Columbus for safety reasons. The bridge is slated to be demolished in 2022{{Update inline|date=July 2024}} by [[Ohio Department of Transportation|ODOT]] without a replacement as part of a widening project of the I-70/I-71 corridor in [[Downtown Columbus, Ohio|Downtown Columbus]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.wosu.org/news/2021-07-06/downtown-columbus-abandoned-overpass-to-come-down-in-2022|title=Downtown Columbus Abandoned Overpass to Come Down in 2022|date=6 July 2021}}</ref>
