Definition

A structure that connects two locations and provides for the passage of a transportation route (for example: a road or a railway) over a terrain obstacle (for example: a waterbody, a gully, and/or a road).

Description

A bridge consists of a set of two abutments and/or zero or more bridge piers joined by bridge spans. A bridge may serve, for example, as an overpass or a viaduct. In the context of a bridge, the scope of the term 'transportation route' includes the transportation of liquids or gases by means of either pipelines or aqueducts.
