Most of this cases are probably just bad tagging, but it's possible some of
them indeed are multiple objects described in an article. It would be
useful to make a KeepRight style map with such problematic objects.

Bridges are bit of a grey area, is a highway with bridge=yes really a
bridge, or is it a highway which has a property of being on a bridge? I
think we should map these notable bridges as an area with man_made=bridge
and put the tag on that.
The very first example of a bridge on your list is already problematic:
