Do you plan to host it locally on your own computer, or just want
someone else to do it all?

name=* should be the bridge name, not the road name, which is why you
shouldn't use name=* on roundabouts unless the roundabout actually has
a name.
same with ref=* or at the very least I would do bridge:ref=* since you
are referring to some kind of reference number for that bridge.
