lord of the rings - How was the bridge at Khazad-dûm made?

Deep in the mines of Moria, the bridge at Khazad-dûm (Durin's Bridge) spanned a virtually fathomless gap that separated the main part of the Moria superstructure on the western side and the Dimrill Gate on eastern side.

The steps leading to the bridge looked like they could've been easily hewn from the side of the cliff. However, it looks virtually impossible that a solid rock bridge could have been constructed or hewn over the abyss. How was the bridge made and who made it? Unless it was a naturally created bridge smoothed out by the dwarves, it seems unlikely dwarf-craft could have built it.
