This is just from memory (haven't tried it, but something like this 
should work wit agg on 5.6

bridge gets a solid black outline
tunnel gets a dashed black outline
others get a normal rendition

Try playing with this

LAYER
   CLASS  # if its a bridge draw it here
     EXPRESSION ("[bridge]" == "yes")
     STYLE
       COLOR "#888888"
       WIDTH 11
       OUTLINECOLOR "#000000"
       OUTLINEWIDTH 3
     END
     STYLE
       COLOR "#DDDDDD"
       WIDTH 9
     END
   END
   CLASS # else if it is a tunnel draw it here
     EXPRESSION ("[tunnel]" == "yes")
     STYLE
       COLOR "#000000"
       SYMBOL "dash"
       WIDTH 17
     END
     STYLE
       COLOR "#888888"
       WIDTH 11
     END
     STYLE
       COLOR "#DDDDDD"
       WIDTH 9
     END
   END  CLASS # otherwise draw it here
     STYLE
     STYLE
       COLOR "#888888"
       WIDTH 11
     END
     STYLE
       COLOR "#DDDDDD"
       WIDTH 9
     END
   END
END
