A long weekend is a run of at least 3 consecutive days off — typically when a public holiday lands on a Friday or Monday (or next to the weekend via a substitute day).
What is a bridge day?
A workday between a holiday and a weekend. Taking it as leave "bridges" the two, giving you a long break for very little leave.
