[Talk-GB] Cycleway on a Bridge

[Molescott]

Greetings All,
 
I have previously asked for advice on the newbie list but on this occasion I
thought maybe I'd reached the stage where I wasn't such a newbie?
 
I need advice on mapping a cycleway over a bridge.
 
The A361 'Taw Bridge' is already mapped but I'd like to tidy it up a bit and
do it again with the start and end of the bridge plotted more better. (That
s a nice term, isn't it)? 
I have added to and fixed some of the local cycleways but see the existing
cycleway over the estuary is plotted separately to the bridge. I have walked
the bridge and as things are now the cycle way part is spot on to my GPS
readings.

When you come up either of the curved cycle access paths to the bridge, the
cycle lane/track/path/way is the first thing you come across on the bridge.
This part is actually a fairly wide pavement with a standard kerb, from
which you can step down into the road proper. The road itself then has one
lane going out over the bridge and then another lane coming back. On the far
side is the bridge parapet, no pavement. Some of the distance along the
bridge is joint bike/walker use, with nothing painted on the pavement. Other
bits have a centre white line on the pavement with bike/walker symbols on.

I am confused as to how to tag this way since the bike part isn't in the
road marked out as a lane, but up on the pavement.
If I add a bridge to a separate bike tag I'll get two bridges over the water
 which there isn't.
I think maybe I'm looking at this too deeply and there's a simple answer.

Any suggestions please?
