'bridge' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'adult taking that parisian channel' is the wordplay.
'adult' becomes 'a' (abbreviation).
'taking' says to put letters next to each other.
'that parisian' becomes 'que' ('that' in French).
'channel' becomes 'duct' (synonyms).
'a'+'que'+'duct'='AQUEDUCT'
