On a road through a mountainous area, there is a bridge over a brook. It ends in mid-air. The road surface picks up 4 z-levels below it. (it's a very mountainous area, so if the bridge were a dozen tiles longer it would reach the road at the same elevation.

The road itself also continues under the bridge.

Further along the road (I'm traveling west), there is a chasm with no bridge (lucky my adventurer is modded [FLIER]) and two more of these over nothing in particular. It seems that bridges in mountainous regions are bugged generally.

Yup, this is the main problem with roads in general.
They don't actually pay attention to the environment well enough.
If cliffs still existed normally, there'd be civs trying to make roads down them.
Tunnels tend to hit the lowest point of the map and become inaccesible.
Bridges, as mentioned, will be too short.
The roads still continue below bridges (possibly above tunnels, not sure about that one)

This is already a known bug if i'm not wrong and there are some really really weird bridges.

As of 40a, tunnels did not have roads above them.  On the other hand, tunnels sometimes exited the mountainside and couldn't go back.

Did you start your fortress in Alaska?

Or possibly California (there's an actual "bridge to nowhere" there: it was meant to go somewhere, but after two winters of torrential rainstorms completely washing out the road they gave up).

This one?

No, I do not believe so.  The one I'm thinking of is up in the Sierra foothills within an hour or two's drive of where I lived (Mission Viejo, part of Orange County).  Was quite a hike, but I unfortunately did not get all the way because a friend I had invited was unused to the strenuous activity and I stayed behind.

Ah, this one.
