underbridges

Passages beneath railways

Underbridges is the plural of underbridge, a bridge that passes under a road, railway, or other route rather than over it.

The term distinguishes structures you drive or walk beneath from those you cross on top of: The canal runs through a series of underbridges along the old towpath.
