a pointer to the osm object would maybe help to get more comments.
Generally, bridge=yes on buildings is not evaluated by common map rendering
styles. If you have a highway going underneath, you could add covered=yes
to the section that is covered. For a more detailed 2.5D mapping you should
add min_height=* .
