I would call it a type of aerialway. > Thank you, I'd forgotten to include the link. I thought using aerialway would confuse routing algorithms. For that reason I would say it's a bridge. Also, it _is_ technically a bridge; a structure that spans a gap, and every other map I've seen draws it as bridge. It's only in use that it is like a ferry. It seems to be ignored by most (web, GPS units) routing systems though. So OSM has a chance to outdo the competition here. :P
