How is this possible? How can a bridge cross a river but not connect its' two banks? Is it collapsed on each end, with just a middle part levitating over the river?

Consider a bridge over a high canyon, with a river far down below. The bridge crosses the river, but does not technically join its banks together (as the banks are still separated from the ends of the bridge by a steep climb).
