I had been thinking about the same question. I have tagged a couple of  
causeways as fords, but this implies that you have to drive through  
water, whereas most causeways are either (1) dry most of the time or  
(2) designed to let water under them through pipes except during  
floods. Would bridge=yes be a suitable alternative to the second  
option (even though it strictly speaking isn't a bridge)?
