The water in the ice of the last Ice Age melted and that slowly increased the amount of water in the oceans and seas. There was a very large amount of water tied up in the glaciers that cover a lot of the planet. With the added water in the oceans, they then cover that land bridge. This is now happening today with the melting ice at the poles. This can be seen in very low lying areas like New Orleans. This area keeps loosing land.

The Bering strait consisted of much ice, so as the ice age was ending the ice holding the land together melted causing the Bering strait to collapse.
