If you make a wish whilst crossing a bridge your wish will be granted within a year. It's also considered good luck if you happen to be walking under a bridge when a train passes overhead, more so if the whistle blows.

I heard if you say goodbye to a friend on a bridge, you will never see one another again. And then there's this:
"There are many tales and superstitions surrounding bridges, one being that the water spirits object to a bridge being built as it is an invasion of their territory. To prevent the possible repurcussions of this 'invasion,' sacrifices were made to the spirits when the bridge building began. This usually involved killing someone, most often a child and burying their body in the bridge's foundations. In the 19th century an old bridge was demolished at Bremen and the skeleton of a young child was discovered in its' foundations."
