Look at the explanation of [G06], in which it says that Bridges are illuminated if balanced (which implies this includes the Coopertition Bridge is, as expected, a Bridge.).
I agree it is vague, as there aren't any definitions this year, but it's common sense that a Coopertition Bridge is a Bridge, but is different from Alliance Bridges. I believe the GDC may have overlooked clarifying this. Reference [G14]. It is unlikely that ONLY refers to Alliance Bridges.

I would agree with this. If you look everywhere else in the rules, if they mean a particular bridge, they specify which bridge the rule applies to.
However, this is a question that we won't be able to answer for sure until the Q&A opens.
