As I understand it (and I stand to be corrected!)
Bridging is a connection between two parts *of the same
network*, so not only can you use the same IP address on
either side, but you must! It acts as a single "point"
on the network, with different physical interfaces, but
there's no way for it to have two addresses.
Routing, on the other hand, connects two seperate
networks, so has a different address on each side.
