Ok, but how do the people can then reach the bridges? Are they whitelisted unintended or are they running on addresses that were used by former sites that werde allowed?

Both options are possible. Sometimes some networks are found to be completely reachable and the reason for why this happens is unknown. The censors in Turkmenistan are also known for charging big sums to provide unfiltered access or whitelist certain things, occasionally the whitelisting is globally applied on all accesses.
