Bridged river that's risen about metre (9)
I believe the answer is:
traversed
This clue could be a double definition.
'bridged river' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with motion as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'risen about metre' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with motion as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'that's' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for traversed that I've seen before include "Travelled across zigzag course" , "Went over" , "Crossed" , "passed over" , "Came across" .)
