Nice!

Here's a timelapse of the bridge move/slide:

I agree. This is now the longest span moved like this. And the path for the move was an arc because the west side move 66ft and the east side 33ft.

UPDATE: Bridge opened early. Waze was a day behind on the opening. Now, of course, the link in the OP shows routing working just fine over the moved bridge.

The single segment in the previous post has been locked.

And cudo's to Waze for the Win. These daily or every other day updates are great. Allows us to keep our maps very up to date with actual road usability.

A valid concern. I had one interchange I had rebuilt to match a new layout, only to have some IGN'r come through and re-do it to match the now outdated aerials, and they did it just before the July-August no update period. So even though I corrected it within a couple days of their vandalism, it was stuck for over six weeks with the wrong layout.

This ramp has been opened for more than week.

Google Maps is yet to update. https://maps.google.com/?ll=25.781402,- ... 3&t=m&z=16

Waze was updated within 2 days.

I was going to make a few more changes to it now that I've driven through it but didn't want to have to unlock a bunch of level 5 segments so I could work on it. As is, it gets the job done and Wazers should do just fine.

Waze also wins with speed of change

There was construction that started In Norman on Jan 7th on the highway that runs through it. That day Waze had the clover leaves disconnected, by Jan 8th the clover leaves and the service road connecting them were already gone. Waze also reflected that. Google - still has those clover leaves intact and routable.

You may want to lock that ramp down so someone who isn't in the know doesn't go and delete that ramp. :)
