I set a point to be avoided (because of a bridge in reconstruction), but osmand now sees the whole road of many km as blocked. so I need to delete these points - but how?

view the map and pan to it and touch the triangle/! icon. It opens a
popup and you can click "remove". (I just did this yesterday as a
street I marked to avoided because of having no pavement and raise
structures has finaly beben repaved.)

I have not read the code, but surely osamnd identifies the way and
marks that. In OSM bridges are ~always a different way. So after you
remove, zoom way in and click on the middle of the bridge and try that.

osmand should somehow color/indicate avoided ways quite loudly so this
overblocking can be apparent. One otherwise can't tell where there are
way splits on a road -- which is normally good.

trying to get rid of the marker I have set several points. I can get rid of all of them, but ONE ALWAYS REMAINS! of course i tap on it and i'm offered remove but nothing happens when clicking on that.

For a bridge being reconstructed, you should also edit the original OSM
data in the manner described here:

https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/50247/bridge-under-repair

Which will label it on the map as under construction and blocked for
traffic purposes.

Of course, once the construction is finished, undo the tag changes to
"reopen" the bridge in OSM.

As well, if you do this, then OSMAnd /should/ (once the map update
downloads to your app) automatically avoid this bridge when computing
routes, with no need for you to manually exclude it in the app.

By "that" I assume you mean my suggestion to edit the master OSM data?
You did not quote any context for me to know for sure to what "that"
refers.

Have you updated your on device maps since you made the change? And
did the change get made with enough time for the next map update to
consume the change?

If yes to both then you've likely discovered a bug you can report
because this this would imply that OSM is not paying attention to the
highway=construction tag to mark a segment non-routable.

sorry. I tried just now to set a construction-marker in osm in browser, but obviously fail to do so. to complicated for me right now.

the bridge is not a real bridge, but a part of a street damaged by undercurrent of water and police told me it will not be done until end of october. very bad for people here. could you set that point maybe? it's here:  51.574015, 11.295337
