I believe there's no obvious reason not to think that bridge=yes
on a highway could be said to mean "is on a bridge" (attribute),
and not "this is a bridge (and a highway)" (object). Then, it's
no longer duplicate information. So far the tools have just
deduced that there must be the (undrawn) bridge along
the road, and would continue to do so if they do not bother
themselves with the exact shape of the bridge deck.
