skywalk
Pedestrian bridge overhead
A skywalk is an elevated enclosed walkway connecting two buildings, allowing pedestrians to move between them without going outside or crossing streets at ground level.
Skywalks are common in downtown areas of cities with harsh winters, where networks of them may link office buildings, hotels, and shopping centers.
The term also applies to glass-floored observation platforms extending from cliffs or tall structures, designed to give visitors the sensation of walking in the sky.
