bridgelike
Connecting two sides
Resembling or suggestive of a bridge—typically in spanning a gap or connecting two points: a bridgelike structure arched over the ravine, the bridgelike curve of her eyebrows.
The word appears in technical descriptions and figurative contexts where something serves a connecting or transitional function.
