> They can't be parceled into "bridge:structure" because they conflict with the ability to specify the individual spans (e.g., an arch viaduct), but these would be a good target for moving into a subtag. "bridge=viaduct" has a lot of existing uses because of renderer support.


The wiki says for viaduct
A bridge composed of a series of short spans. The spans may be arches, girders supported by piers, etc.


We should remove the word "short", because this is relative and depends on the scale and design. A famous example is in France:
