    Good Lord!<br>
    That has both tunnel & bridge tags on the same object! <br>
    This is not what is being discussed here.<br>

            <div>A simple example for a tunnel (here subway) on a bridge
              would be this: <br>

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

        <div>what I wrote was that - according to some technical
          definitions - a tunnel must not have something above it, it
          may be sufficient that it is closed and long enough. I am not
          sure if we share these definitions in OSM. <br>
        </div>
        <div>According to the current wiki, "a tunnel is an underground
          passage for a road or similar." and also: "<tt dir="ltr"
            class="gmail-mw-content-ltr"

          roads, railway line, canals etc that run underground (in <span

          "  This doesn't appear to be exhaustive / complete, tunnels
          could also run underwater, above ground and potentially in the
          future even in space, no? <br>
        </div>
        <div>Many current underwater tunnels are also "underground", as
          they are often running in a man made structure (embankment
          like) on the ground or below the water body/river in the
          ground</div>
