The bridge Mr Lucy fell off in The Pony Set was the same one Howard and Smiler

Yes and as far as I remember it was fake built for show.
That's where I got my information from tooI think they built a number of fake bridges over the years - there is a phootgraph of them doing it in the Ross and Bright book.
I was holidaying just up the road from where they were filming the Lucy episode that year. When they built the bridge they had to employ a security firm to keep an eye on it at all times in case someone nicked it. When I asked if this happened the security guy said I would be surprised at what gets taken from the outdoor sets.When they were filming a few of us were watching by a wall on the road and Bill Owen came across to relieve himself and a lady next to me said she had not come to see that part of Bill but it was something she would never forget.
I also had a long conversation with Stephan Paczai which was very interesting.
One bridge I haven't figured out the location is the one in A Clean Sweep where the trio come across the odd chimney sweep.
My guess is that it's closer to the Co-Op than the one in Edie and the Automobile and Aladdin Gets on Your Wick.
