Skyway

Covered aerial passage

A skyway is an elevated roadway or highway, typically raised above street level to bypass traffic or obstacles below.

The term also refers to enclosed pedestrian bridges connecting buildings, common in cities with harsh winters: The downtown skyway system lets you walk between buildings without going outside.

In some contexts, skyway means an air route or the sky conceived as a travel corridor.
