flyover Explanation: a paso a desnivel is a flyover (the term I generally use) or overpass (as already mentioned) a paso a nivel is a level crossing and an underpass is a paso inferior anyway, perhaps this will help: An overpass (In UK, most Commonwealth countries flyover) is a bridge, road or similar structure that crosses over another road. In North America, a flyover is a high-level overpass, built above main overpass lanes, or a bridge built over what had been an at-grade intersection. Traffic engineers usually refer to the latter as a grade separation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flyover |
