I have been on all these bridges, and walked the walkways mentioned. 

- a “loop bridge” it goes around 720 degrees. (two full turns). it is not a 
ramp - it is a feature of the trunk road.

The rainbow bridge in Tokyo. there is tollway traffic, roadway traffic, a tram, 
and two separate walking paths with viewpoints and elevators in the bridge 
itself (not the  approaches). it’s two layers, unless you count the 2 
additional layers for the walkways and elevators in the support towers to 
ground level below the road bed level(s). 


Speaking of layers & bridges..

meets C2 downtown)


- Naruto Bridge

I know some bridges have road traffic going in different directions on 
different levels, but it's considered the same bridge. 

This bridge has a full observation deck and view point under the roadway (only 
from the west shore to he western tower, not the full distance) for people to 
pay to walk out and see the Natural whirlpools that form from the inland sea 
tide rush over a submerged ridge (visible in the aerial imagery). 

it is the bridge - but there is a whole facility down there *in the bridge* 
below the main road bed for pedestrian use, connected to a building onshore 
that sells admission to the walkway. 

having the man_made=bridge share layers with the roads and sidewalks does work 
for all but a handful of bridges (I like that tag) - but assuming the bridge is 
a single layer really makes things difficult for large/iconic/odd bridges.
