Bridge built with set method (7)

I believe the answer is:

gangway

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bridge built with set method' is the definition.
'gangway' can be an answer for 'bridge' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'built with set method' bit.

'with set method' is the wordplay.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'set' becomes 'gang' (I have seen 'set of tools' mean 'gang' so perhaps 'set' could also mean 'gang').
'method' becomes 'way' (I've seen this before).
'gang' put next to 'way' is 'GANGWAY'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gangway that I've seen before include "part of ship" , "means to secure passage on ship" , "Aisle; ship access" , "Aisle between seats" , "Let us get past" .)
