Ooooooooooooooooooooooooook.....

Here's my question:

"Which river does the Last Bridge cross, and what other name is it also known by?"

No, Bruinen has no bridge, and Loudwater is the other name for the river Bruinen.

I think my question may be a bit unclear. I want you to give me:
a)the name of the river over which the Last Bridge is built
b)the other name of the Last Bridge.

a.k.a. The Bridge of Mitheithel.

the Glandum (a.k.a. the Gwathlo) which is tributary of the Bruinen.
and
The Mitheithel itself which crossed under the Bridge named after it.

Spock, you have got the name of the Bridge correct, but not the river. You got the Elvish name for the river correct, though.

BTW, I also believe Bruinen is a tributary of the Gwathlo, not the other way around.

(if that's right, Spock can go - I hadn't the slightest idea what the Elvish name for the Last Bridge was )

Yes, you're right. Then, Spock can go, unless elfearz changes his/her mind.
