skybridge
Tower-connecting corridor
A skybridge is an enclosed elevated walkway connecting two buildings, allowing passage without going outside or to street level.
Common in urban areas, skybridges link office towers, hospitals, hotels, and shopping centers: The skybridge connects the parking garage to the main terminal.
In cities with harsh winters, networks of skybridges let people move between buildings without braving the cold.
