Ik post zijn reactie (met mijn reactie en mijn aanvankelijke mail) hier maar even integraal. De samenvatting is: oh, ja is rot als het gebeurd.
Dear Pratik,
It didn’t occur to you to contact me?
It is the least you should do in this situation.
(And another alert for you could have been that the north side of the bridge show two different routes which are used)
Kind Regards,
Martien

Dear Martien,
Thanks for bringing this up.
I can relate to the anger you have as a local mapper, as I had similar experience in Bhopal.In this particular case I aligned the road not only because of Bing and Mapbox imagery, but also after seeing strava, runkeeper and GPS traces.
I just saw that you have reverted this changeset.
Happy Mapping!
Regards,

Dear pratikyadav,
I would like to voice my complain about a stupid removal/revert you executed.
The Dutch motorway and waterway agency (Rijkswaterstaat) is replacing all 100+ years old bridges over a major waterway in the North of the Netherlands.
I drew a new bridge in the vicinity of the city of Groningen (Netherlands). The situation was drawn with construction tags about six months there. I admit that my changeset comment was too short in just naming the bridge and I should have linked to the replacement programme’s website and webcam (tip: go back some weeks for the destruction works).
I cannot find my original changeset and would like it to be reinstated. I aligned the situation with GPS and sketches from the project site. Imagery is not available yet: Bing is about 5y old and official government imagery (1y old) also is lagging behind.
I am talking about this particular changeset, there may be some more changesets, I am not sure…Regards,
Martien
PS: I am a little bit angry. I expected more professionalism from your side as Mapbox engineer. Convention is to reach out if you find something odd. Kind of funny that you have a diary entry about data quality :-?
