highway bridge
Elevated road crossing
A highway bridge is a bridge designed to carry highway traffic—cars, trucks, and other vehicles—over an obstacle such as a river, valley, railroad, or another road.
The term distinguishes these structures from pedestrian bridges, railroad bridges, or aqueducts.
Highway bridges range from simple overpasses spanning a few dozen feet to massive suspension bridges crossing bays and straits.
