Hi Andy

I use bridge_name=*

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Bridge_Name

Some use a colon instead of an underscore, but I think the above is more 
commonly used.

As an aside, do you know what the bridge is for? Is there something 
underneath?
If it's a waterway/rail/road etc. I try & map it, even with a short 
length if I don't know the full extent.

Cheers
