Do you have an example?

Whether it's a bridge or tunnel is fairly easily defined by determining which is taking the load. If a tunnel's structure was removed, would whitewater's above it collapse? If 'yes' then it's a tunnel.

There can't be both a tunnel and bridge. It's one or the other. This goes for 
all scenarios, including roads.

you can have both, but it is rare...
and it depends on your definitions of course  (e.g. you might call it an 
enclosed bridge or sth. like this). In engineering standards, tunnels are not 
only dug structures but also completely enclosed linear ways with certain 
length (e.g. in Germany it’s from 80m onwards according to concrete standards, 
IIRR), which can also in exceptional cases lead over a bridge.
