    <p>You may consider to use the lifecycle namespace prefix [1] to map
      the bridge. In your case it would be:</p>
    <p>construction:man_made=bridge</p>
    <p>layer=1</p>
    <p>In the near future, when the construction is finished and the
      bridge is already operative, you just delete the construction:
      prefix.</p>
    <p>I use the lifecycle prefixes a lot, specially for shops,
      restaurants and others that close. Like for example disused:shop=*
      or disused:amenity=restaurant, etc. The abandoned:*=* prefix is
      also quite useful.</p>
    <p>Cheers,</p>
    <p>Rafael.<br>
