In Google Earth, the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge is not there. They've got the road going in and out of the canyon. This would be a blast to drive, but there really is a bridge there. They had to have purposely taken it out. Why?

Royal Gorge Bridge in Canon City, Colorado.

The bridge is there both in the image but draped over google earth terrain and as a 3D structure. Turn on 3D building.
Note that Google does not allow users to upload their 3D models (previously possible to create and upload with SketchUp a tool now owned by Trimble). The existing 3D buildings and structures have not (YET) been removed, but now new user-built buildings are being added.
Google, i think, has some other plans for their own data-driven and automated 3D modelling instead; Google imagery, terrain and data resolution differ from a place to place. Some areas may have extremely high resolution imagery featuring 3D objects created from LiDAR or stereo imagery whereas other areas are still Landsat 7 15 m resolution.
Only some pleaces feature this new 3D Google Earth technology, Sudbury, ON, Canada is for some reason one of them, I think most urban areas in the US are the same but the rest of the world will have to wait:
