Use "bridge=*" only once, either on the highway way (linear) or on a polygon (surface). But it's preferable to use a second tag to distinguish the linear vs the surface modeling. Otherwise we don't know if an OSM closed way tagged "bridge=yes" is the surface or something really linear where the "highway" tag is missing. > Also, wheat exactly did you mean by "Connect the ways running over the > bridge to this structure"? This implies a relation to make the connections, > but you then go on to deprecate the use of relations. I guess it's just about a node put on the intersection between the highway(s) and the polygon. But I'm not sure if this is really required (the same question raises when a highway is crossing an administrative boundary or a landuse).
