Although nothing is "required" in OSM, the layer tag always helps on a
bridge because you could have multiple bridges passing each other (as in a
highway interchange). In that case, the layer tag specifies at what "layer"
in the 3rd dimension the bridge exists.

See for example http://osm.org/go/ZVMvmEVc
