I spent my teen years living Midland, Michigan (where my parents still reside) and was well-aware of the “tridge” downtown; a bridge with three legs, sometimes known as a “Y-Bridge” or “Tri-Bridge”.
A while back, ‘CuriousJM’ put together a nice post about Tri-Bridges around the world on the Google Earth Community. Along with the list of tri-bridges he also posted this excellent KMZ file
to help you find them all. Here’s the list.

Google Earth is a perfect tool to explore items like this, and his list makes it easy to browse around and check them all out.
Nice work, CuriousJM!
