It's a 2D map, where every point can have only one altitude. So there's no such
place as "under" the bridge, as far as the database is concerned. All imagery
has to be rendered as if it conforms to the local topography.

Apparently you can add 3D stuff like this:
https://sites.google.com/site/kmltouring/3d-text

..... but it'll only render locally, unless you can figure out how to convince
Google to add it to their terrain database.

Actually on my copy of Google Earth it does have a 3D model:

I wonder if your client's out of date, or something? In your screencap it
looks like it started to render the model at one end of the bridge, then
bugged out.

Checking the "photorealistic" option box makes things entirely
unrealistic.

Last time we walked across, every few feet there was a small
hand-drawn sign, each with an inspirational message or poem to
discourage suicide.

Mo indirectly knows a woman who fell off and landed in some bushes and
survived. I don't think she fell the full 700 feet.

It's a wonderful site.
