Will my trees be removed if I place my bridge here?

This might seem like a silly question as it is showing that the trees have disappeared, and you can see that the corners are touching the tree. But the reason I'm asking is because when I placed my first bridge that Nook asks you to make, I had bamboo (full grown) growing one space away from where you walk onto it, and it stayed there after it was built. I do not remember if they had disappeared when I imagined how the bridge was going to look, and unfortunately, I never took a picture. However this is how it was laid out (B represent the bamboo and the red boarder is space the bridge takes up):

(It seems it should not have stayed as it is touching the boarders)

Another reason I'm asking is because I know that I will not be able to plant the trees where I want AFTER the bridge is built. I know this because after I dug up the bamboo, I was not able to put trees where the bamboo initially was, and was not able to put a tree any closer than 3 squares away, and it looks so bare I also have a sapling one square away and one square down from the initial bridge that is refusing to grow (the same place as the bamboo furthest to the right.) So I thought a trick might be to put the trees there first, since it unintentionally worked with the bamboo, but it doesn't seem that way now.

At the end of the day it is not a big deal as trees can be moved and I can shift my river down, but I would really like this to work as that is where I really really really want my trees to be.

Thank you!

Your landscape look beautiful! Also I can't answer your question as I'm far behind those who played this on release.

i think the trees take up more spaces than the bamboo, so it would get in the way of the bridge

That’s a shame I don’t understand why they have to be so far from the bridges now! Thank you for the help!

Thank you, I’ve been working really hard! The rest of my island is really messy :,)

Even if the bridge and trees aren't physically touching each other, they need to have an area of 1 square all around them free. I guess in the case of bridges, they just can't have said free space overlapping with anything else's.

Reminds me of NL, where if you wanted to have certain Public Works Projects as close to the bridge as possible you had to build them before the bridge itself. If you wanted to replace them with something else later on, you'd have to demolish the bridge first or else it wouldn't let you use that same spot again.
