Using that logic

a parking area is a property of a parking aisle.

a fuel station is a property of a driveway.

and so on.

Bridges, tunnel and cuttings are physical objects that have their own properties (names, heights, widths, materials etc)
that can be independent of whatever else they may be related to.

A single bridge may carry a roadway, rail lines, water pipes, gas pipes and electrical supply lines.
I would not view the bridge as a property of any of those things but as an entity itself.
