footbridges
Walkways over water
Footbridges is the plural of footbridge—a narrow bridge designed for pedestrians rather than vehicles.
Footbridges span streams, railways, or roads, allowing people to cross on foot: Footbridges connected the hiking trails across the ravine.
They range from simple wooden planks to elaborate suspension structures.
