Google Maps has removed the collapsed I-5 bridge in WA

I noticed this as well. At the default level of zoom my browser was at with the link, the bridge was there. When I zoomed out one level or more, it wasn't.

Interestingly, it still provides directions over the bridge: http://goo.gl/maps/J2mVS

Well, it says: "This road will be temporarily closed starting on 24 May." :)

OpenStreetMap still has it: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=48.4451&lon=-122.34063...

I tried to mark it as closed, but did not find any option for that in potlatch. Can someone else with more experience with OSM help out?

strangely, it's currently still there if you zoom in a bit though.

If you zoom in a little further, you'll notice that the road is actually outlined in a dotted line and notated as "planned". So it's there just as a placeholder.

I won't ask if apple maps still has it.
