funnel

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

This clue might be a double definition.

'chimney' is the first definition.
(I know that funnel is a type of smokestack)

'near bridge?' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for funnel that I've seen before include "Kind of tube for pouring wide at top and narrow at bottom" , "Metal chimney on steamship" , "Kitchen utensil; chimney" , "Conical utensil for transferring liquids" , "Steam engine chimney" .)
