The correct solution here is to use relations. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relations/Proposed/Bridges_and_Tunnels The relation should be as follows: type=bridge across=<the road> under=<the waterway> ref=<bridge number> Optionally: maxwidth= maxheight= name= However, no renderer yet shows this, although I've been working with Steve Chilton for a while to get it done.
