A few of my immediate ideas. Apologies if the PR already addresses some of them, I tried reading through the commits but other than recognizing some keywords, I don't really know what it's doing 😛 Also some of these assume callbacks will be available per tile, which I'm not sure will be possible, but anyway:
Possibly in addition to this, a flag to just disable the bridge overlay sprites (maybe not including tramtypes and/or catenary), rather than disallowing the whole road/railtype? It might be contentious with road/tram/railtype set authors, but would for example allow trestles with non-solid (see-through) decks to remain compatible with railtypes which don't normally provide nice-looking overlays for such a bridge.
You may have had this in mind, but also being able to define "arrays" of layouts would be neat. So for example at certain lengths (in this example multiples of 11) a bridge could do [3-part-layout, 5-part-layout, 3-part-layout], but at other lengths just repeat [5-part-layout] or [3-part-layout] or whatever. Also each layout should be able to be marked as repeatable or not, which would allow for both tile-able and one-off designs, or a mix like above. There are some other ideas that are probably a bit too crazy (working draw bridges anyone? 😛) so I'll leave that out for now. But everything else here so far is +1000 from me 👍 |

Some bridge sets add types are only intended to be used in combination, not on their own, e.g. the Modular Wider Bridges Set. With more/richer bridge types, more GRFs may also do this. On pillars, at the moment in my branch the presence of pillars can be set on a per-corner and per-edge basis for each bridge part, see here. This is currently just used for stations (which have corresponding flags for which pillars are not allowed), but it would make sense for something like this to also be used for road/track/etc underneath, as suggested above. |

With PR #9161 currently open, the question for "what would need to go into a New Bridges feature" opens again.
