drawing the outline seems a good approach as it permits to group

This is approach is used by IHO for marine chart data. Where a bridge has more than span, they further divide the bridge outline into two or more butted polygons, one for each span, so that each span can have its own height & width attributes. They also map bridge piers as separate objects.
