It would say that this sentence presents two examples of personification.
By personification, we understand that "the attribution of a personal nature or human characteristics to something non-human, or the representation of an abstract quality in human form"

In this quote Time is capitalized that is why it can be considered a personification of time, it is taken as a subject. And on the other hand, the bridge is related to the verb "sweep" which is applied to people.
