What’s the key for an industrial metallic bridge over a river ?

2

There are 2 industrial plants on both sides of a river. The metallic bridge, which is not a road/path, is used to join the industrial plants with electric/gaz/feedstocks lines.

Here is the bridge thanks to Google View

Tag it with man_made=pipeline + bridge=yes + layer=1 . If you know the contents of pipe, then add type tag also (for example type=oil).

In this case I agree with RM. But if its a conveyor belt maybe you could used man_made=goods_conveyor which I have found in the wiki and would fit something I encountered to transport gravel from the quarry over a river to the wash and grading plant.
