New Feature: Bridge Detail Pages

I added a detail page for each bridge on Bridgemapper. The detail pages contain the same information shown in the county maps, and can be accessed from either the Bridge List or from the All Bridges map.

The great thing about the bridge detail pages is that you can now link to individual bridges on our site, like this, instead of having to direct users to an entire county.

All Bridges in One Map

I just added a cool, new feature to Bridgemapper: the ability to see ALL bridges on the site on one map!

To see all of the bridges on Bridgemapper on one map, color coded by type, click on the Map link, and select the new All Bridges link that appears in the top right, above the nationwide map. Please allow a few seconds for all of the bridges to load.

Bridgemapper now has 732 bridges in 11 states.
