I believe this clue is a double definition.
'game' is the first definition.
(card game)
'span' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for bridge that I've seen before include "Connection crossing river etc" , "British composer" , "pontoon, perhaps" , "Requirement for spectacles" , "Captain's area on a ship" .)
