I know of a relatively small bridge in rural Ohio that simply has barriers placed in front of it. It's still walkable.

- brewdad 5y agoThey did the same with an old wooden bridge near where I grew up. In the early 80s, you could still drive across it. Later they closed it and barricaded it. Eventually in the 2000s, they preserved it and built a park around it. Of course, this bridge only carried about 10 cars a day, mostly as a novelty, prior to closing. It's an entirely different animal to close a bridge in a major city.

- vanilla_nut 5y agoI know of a couple of medium-sized bridges in upstate NY that have completely collapsed and the state has just abandoned them, with some barriers thrown in front and that's it. Funnily enough they still show up as routes on Google Maps, but OSM has them removed. I decided to leave it as is to fight the Google mapping monopoly power.
