It's simple.

Split the way in two places, 1) where the bridge starts, and 2) where it ends.

Click on the new segment you just created to select it and add the tags

bridge=yes

layer=1

There are other tags you might use to enhance this simple scenario, e.g.,

bridge:name=Memorial Bridge

bridge:structure=suspension

but the first two tags will do the trick

Think he might mean man_made=bridge structure mapping.
