For routing software for example to say: "Turn there, go across the
bridge and then after 100 meters go left?"

Bridge is kinda very big object in every town or city. Giving
perspective where it starts and where it ends you give additional
information for routing software to inform it's user how to find
things relatively to the bridge.
