pedestrian bridges

Walkways spanning roads

Pedestrian bridges are structures built to allow people on foot to cross over obstacles such as roads, railways, rivers, or other barriers.

Unlike bridges designed for vehicles, these are scaled for human traffic and often include features like stairs, ramps, or elevators for accessibility.

They appear in urban areas to separate foot traffic from busy streets, and in natural settings as footbridges over streams or gorges.

The new pedestrian bridge connects the parking garage to the stadium.
