There is a bridge out on Heck Young Drive in Baker, La. that has been out for more than 2 weeks and no clue as to when it will be reopened. This is creating a major issue with navigation as WAZE does not recognize it yet due to its location. How can I get this fixed in WAZE so people don’t get inconvenienced?

Thanks for your post @ici1011. I’ve moved your post to another forum so the volunteer map editors of Louisiana can help you. All the best

Thank you for your post, we’ve identified the area affected and placed a road closure.
We are a team of volunteer map editors, and Waze operates mainly as a crowd-sourced application, and small local closures may not show on the feeds we are provided by the state and major municipalities. We have to rely on others to report local road closures, just as you have done here.
To report these in the future: The forum method you have done is absolutely a great way to do this, there is also a way within the app itself. If the road is completely blocked, use the Report » Closure feature for you and others to be rerouted around it. (Please note that this feature is currently not available while using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.) If just a single lane is blocked, use the Report » Blocked lane feature to indicate which lane has the blockage.
