overpasses
Roads over roads
Overpasses are bridges that carry a road or railway over another road, railway, or obstacle.
The term emphasizes the crossing-over function: The highway overpasses were clogged during rush hour.
In American English, overpass is the standard term; British English prefers flyover.
