highway overpass
Elevated road crossing
A highway overpass is a bridge that carries a road over another road, allowing traffic to cross without intersection.
The term emphasizes the highway context—typically where a local road or pedestrian path crosses above a major thoroughfare: We watched the traffic from the highway overpass.
Sometimes called an overbridge or flyover.
