That sounds like a real mystery. I have never heard of a drawbridge not being a bridge. Bascule bridge is the type of drawbridge where you have two spans that lift up away from each other. You also have lift bridges and swing bridges. The term causeway refers to a narrow strip of land with a road on it, sometimes leading up to a bridge.
I think your operator may have just been ticked off and couldn't come up with anything better to say.
