pedestrian bridge

Elevated walkway crossing

A pedestrian bridge is a bridge designed for foot traffic rather than vehicles.

These range from simple footbridges over streams to elaborate structures spanning highways or connecting buildings: A pedestrian bridge links the parking garage to the terminal.

Also called a footbridge or, when enclosed and elevated between buildings, a skybridge or skywalk.
