Michigan has a bridge located in Hell. Just like you would expect from Michigan's Bridge In Hell, it is an ugly, modern bridge: http://maps.google.com/maps?t=h&ie=UTF8&layer=c&ll=42.43446,-83.986199&z=13&cbll=42.43446,-83.986199&panoid=xgTprx3DUfqO4wMePG5_WA&cbp=12,150.38,,0,8.33

Wow!...I thought for sure someone was just jacking around here (no pun) but there REALLY is a bridge by this name!

Maybe we should have a category for bridges with bizarre and unusual names. The above span and this one: http://www.bridgehunter.com/in/warrick/8700124/

would be good choices.

Stopped by this bridge a couple of times in the nineties just to drink a beer and ponder the name.

Uhhhh, hey Beavis, it's called "Long Dick Creek". huh huh huh.

Wonder is the "Long" refers to the "Dick" or to the "Creek"

huh huh huh.
