Crossword Genius

Location of bridge over one sound (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

kenya

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

'location' is the definition.
(Kenya is an example)

'bridge over one sound' is the wordplay.
'bridge' becomes 'ken' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'over' says the letters should be written backwards.
'one' becomes 'I' (Roman numeral).
'sound' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'i' is a homophone of 'ay'.
'ay' back-to-front is 'ya'.
'ken'+'ya'='KENYA'

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for kenya that I've seen before include "Its capital is Nairobi" , "E African country" , "East African republic" , "Nairobi's country" , "East African nation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times.
