skyway
Elevated pedestrian bridge
A skyway is an elevated roadway or passage, often enclosed, connecting buildings above street level.
In some American cities, downtown skyways form networks allowing pedestrians to move between buildings without going outside: The Minneapolis skyway system spans dozens of blocks.
Skyway also refers to an elevated highway or, more poetically, an air route.
