I have a routing question. There's a bridge in Montreal which is tagged as primary_link which c.t refuses to follow. Normally, that makes sense, but it's being temporarily used as a cycle bridge since the adjacent one is closed. It's been 9 months since the tagging has been changed on OSM. Here are the tags.
bicycle=yes
bridge=yes
bus=no
fixme=Accès de 06h00 à 23h00 tous les jours de la semaine. Réf.: https://shorturl.at/dmzRS
foot=yes
hgv=no
highway=primary_link
horse=no
lanes=2
layer=1
lcn=yes
lit=yes
maxspeed=20
maxspeed:advisory=20
motor_vehicle=no
note=temporary passage for pedestrian and cyclists until the cyclepath bridge is repaired
oneway=reversible
oneway:conditional=-1 @ (Mo-Fr 06:00-09:00)
shoulder=no
sidewalk=no
surface=metal
tourist_bus=no
truck=no

I was wondering if there was a problem with the routing engine or if I could change a tag on OSM.
Comments
Anyone here can offer assistance?
Chinook, I can't offer any reliable assistance with OSM but if all you want to do is to plot a route incorporating the bridge there is a solution in the 'Advanced Features'

Drawing straight lines
Although our route-planner tries to find the best cyclable route between any two places, there’ll be times when you want to take a direct route that it doesn’t permit – for example, on a new road that hasn’t made it into our mapping database yet.
You can draw a straight line to cross such a section. Put a via point on either side of your intended straight line section. (Don’t worry about the no doubt circuitous route it’ll choose.) Then click the first via point, and in the popup bubble, select ‘Go direct’. The route will change to take a straight line to the next via point.
