Comment from Mike Baggaley
Hi, please do not name highways with names such as Bridge 85A. This is incorrect. Firstly 85A is not a name, it is a reference. Secondly, the reference for a bridge goes in the bridge:ref field and the bridge name goes in bridge:name so that the road name can be correctly shown in the name field.

Hi Mike,
If I delete the names (in the case of footbridges) and revert to the road names (for roads), how do I make the Bridge Ref display on the standard view of the map, please?
I only started adding / changing the names to get them to display and to give consistency after I saw some with no name, one named "GUnn" another named "Bridge nn" etc.Regards

Hi Peter, I believe you are correct that bridge:ref is not rendered on the standard OSM map (the bridges in question had bridge_ref which was an older convention). However, incorrect data should not be set simply to get the standard map to display something in a particular way. You may be interested in a proposal at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relations/Proposed/Bridges_and_Tunnels for mapping of bridges that have more than one way crossing, and it might be worth discussing rendering of bridge references in the talk page of this.
Hope this helps move towards a suitable solution, as I agree that it would be useful to display bridge details on the standard map (or have a pointer to a map that does display this data in a similar way to the waymarked trails map that shows walking routes that are not rendered on the standard map).
Regards,
Mike
