Mysterious Disappearing Bridge, or how can I get it back

dwarf-fortress

So I had a bridge linked to a switch. The switch was pulled, and the switch was dismantled while pulled (and the linked bridge was retracted). I'd assumed that the bridge would extend or I'd be able to link it up to a new switch… am I out of luck? My mechanic keeps suspended the link job. Do I have to dissassemble the old retracted bridge and build it anew?

once in an older version i was able to build a wall over where the bridge was/should be, and then order the wall removed, magicly at the same time the old bridge was removed, then i had to just build the bridge back :(

not a nice way to fix it, but might help you move forward.
