Sidewalks are drawn separately… but setting sidewalk=separate wouldn’t be a good idea until sidewalk mapping is complete.

in particular, it would be impossible to reach the next intersection here (https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/1838779333) if the road is excluded from the grid.

The solution is to extend the sidewalk until the next intersection, then add sidewalk=separate.

It’s fairly trivial to do, I can do it… but can you please confirm that the current situation is normal?  As the works for the new bridge should have started last Monday I am not sure whether the old bridge is completely accessible.
