yes, but you can easily see whether it is one tube with both directions going 
through, or if there is one tube per direction (more usual case due to security 
reasons). Then you still have to define what is one "tunnel", maybe also 2 (or 
more) distinct tubes could qualify as one tunnel?

Yes, you could either use a relation for the bridge (with name, ref, wikipedia 
and other tags, describing the bridge) and add the highways to the relation 
with a role running over the bridge, or draw distinct geometry for the bridge 
perimeter (and eventually geometry for the supports, pylons, etc.). The latter 
could also be done additionally and added to the relation). The same applies 
for tunnels besides that we often don't know exactly the shape of the tunnel.

cheers,
Martin
