This post marks a return of original puzzles to puzzlinks.com. A new Lost Bridges puzzle. I’ve updated the puzzle so that symbols are no longer used. The number of bridges connected to each island is indicated by the shape and orientation of the island. This allows the solver to fill in the number corresponding to a particular shape and orientation. So that a new Lost Bridges puzzle looks something like this:
And a correct solution looks like this.
As always, I have a pdf version of the puzzle.
I’m planning to bring back more original puzzles in the coming weeks, so keep an eye out.

Great puzzle! Small but very tricky.
It resisted conventional solving so I came up with some equations to describe it:
rightward triangle = leftward triangle + circle
circle = downward triangle’s upward bridges
downward triangle’s leftward bridges - downward triangle’s downward bridges = circle - hexagon
Which helped me solve it by a process of elimination
