Hi Eike,

It's possible any problems go way back to when we laid it out originally.
Several of us had fun trying to get the right sections of bridge displaying
correctly and I seem to recall a few extra overlapping ways were used in a
few locations. Perhaps we have some wrong node connections here and there
still present. Feel free to try and clean up though you might want to do it
is small steps to make sure that it still looks right as well as routes
correctly.

Cheers
Andy
