I find that he tended to exaggerate the dialect...or did he?
It's the way this old country boy, the entire family, and all the neighbors pronounced it way back when. "I'm gwine go to town." The first thing when we moved to the big city was the school district put me in speech class. They just didn't have no respect for regional dialect.
But I can't imagine this bridge between the two ridges being merely temporary.
It may have been freshly and hastily built for the invasion of Gondor.
I've assumed it to mean a type of arch which "flies" a great distance between supports, out of necessity due to the depth of the ravine.
That's mainly what I think. Like flying buttresses.
******************************************
The audacious proposal stirred his heart. And the stirring became a song, and it mingled with the songs of Gil-galad and Celebrian, and with those of Feanor and Fingon. The song-weaving created a larger song, and then another, until suddenly it was as if a long forgotten memory woke and for one breathtaking moment the Music of the Ainur revealed itself in all glory. He opened his lips to sing and share this song. Then he realized that the others would not understand. Not even Mithrandir given his current state of mind. So he smiled and simply said "A diversion.”
