This is because the Elevation API gives you terrain elevation, not road elevation. You'd need to know where tunnels and bridges start and end but that is not provided in the API either. With any luck, directions might give you hints about toll bridges and tunnels, but not necessarily at the exact point where road elevation departs from terrain elevation.
This could be an interesting feature request for the Elevation API, please file on in the issue tracker if you would like us to look into it.
