Summary0000511: Constructions can be built next to bridges and grates but immediately collapse if unsupported
DescriptionI decided to build a wall surrounding a bridge I had built over empty spaces(the edge of the bridge touching land, but not the whole bridge.) The game allowed me to build the walls, but as soon as one tile of wall was built, it would fall down the z-level under as the bridge doesn't provide support and isn't considered like floor/stair/etc. You shouldn't be allowed to build next to a bridge that is over empty spaces or the game shouldn't consider bridge like ethereal floors/stairs/etc.
Steps To ReproduceHave a space with a z level and a z+1 level. Build a bridge with one edge touching the edge of the z+1 level and the rest of the bridge hanging in the air.

Build a wall(Or any other construction) on level z+1 next to the bridge as you are allowed to and watch it fall on the z level under it(until something stops it) as soon as it is built.
Additional InformationIt didn't kill my dwarf that was building it, but it catapulted a few tiles away as if he had been pulled down by the falling wall then has been pushed away by the cave-in in which the whole mess resulted.

Sorry for the double post. I meant SUSPENDED bridge as bridge being built over empty spaces, not suspended as stopped construction.

This happed in the old version as well, bit of a bugger that it made it across makes building bridge defenses that much more time consuming

Hey-o. Still here in DF 0.40.23. :)

I think you could consider the actual bug that dwarves _think_ that walls/floors are supported by bridges when they aren't.
