underpasses
Bridges you traverse
Underpasses are tunnels or passages that run beneath a road, railway, or other obstacle.
A pedestrian underpass allows foot traffic to cross under a busy highway; a railroad underpass lets cars pass beneath the tracks.
The term contrasts with overpass, which crosses above.
The underpass flooded during the storm.
