It's not the bridge, it's that giant tower kind of thing that went super high up into the sky. Some say its a space elevator... i dunno... bungie called it a "tether".
Anyways, that's not the bridge in the background, but remnants of that giganto tower. In Halo 2, it's clearly visible at the main menu when it's doin the fly-by of New Mombasa, and it's also clearly visible form almost anywhere with a view in the Outskirts level.
As for New Mombasa being an island... you may be right. I don't know... akways kind of thought of it as a Manhattan kind of place.I also think that the map of New Mombasa that you can find on the level Terminal depicts it as an island. You could always go check an atlas. :)
