In reality, the bridge was probably only a portion of one of those
tlids.

During the import, we joined all of the neighboring tlids with the same
name to form ways.  After the import, someone came along and split that
way back up to form the bridge.  The tlids represent the original set of
data from which the bridge might have come.  I hope that makes it more
clear at least how we got here.
