See also

Key	Value	Element	Comment	OSM Carto	Photo
bridge	yes		Non-specific bridge tag, possibly combined with other bridge:* tags.
bridge	aqueduct		A longer structure for carrying a canal or fresh water. Consider using historic=aqueduct for significant ancient aqueducts.
bridge	boardwalk		A plank walkway over wet or otherwise difficult terrain, usually low to the ground and supported by posts.
bridge	cable-stayed		Discouraged: Please use defacto bridge=yes + bridge:structure=cable-stayed instead.
bridge	cantilever		A bridge where a span is supported at one end only. Usually, the free ends of two spans are fastened to one another, giving a longer clear span between supports.
bridge	covered		A covered bridge has a roof and fully or partly enclosed sides, usually to protect the bridge deck and members from deterioration. Consider also the combination bridge=*+covered=*.
bridge	low_water_crossing		Also known as an "Irish bridge", this is a low bridge which is engineered to carry vehicles above water at low flow levels and survive submersion at high flow levels. Consider also adding either ford=yes or flood_prone=yes on low-water-bridges that will sometimes be flooded on a seasonal and/or intermittent basis (see Discussion page).
bridge	movable		Movable bridges contain a span that can be moved up or to the side, often to provide greater clearance for traffic moving beneath the bridge. All such spans should be tagged with bridge=movable. Further information may be provided using bridge:movable=*. The fixed spans should be tagged separately, to make clear which part of the bridge is and is not movable.
bridge	trestle		A bridge composed of a series of short spans where each span is supported by a rigid frame, usually called a "bent" rather than a pier.
bridge	viaduct		A bridge composed of a series of spans, often short relative to its overall length. The spans may be arches, girders supported by piers, etc. For ways or features that raise a feature above the natural ground on mounds or earth walls, use embankment=*.
