crossing structures


Explanation:
I have "obras de paso" in my glossary as "crossing structures", and this seems to be the same thing.

En caso de obstáculos tales como puentes, construcciones existentes, autopistas, líneas férreas y otros similares, se proyectarán las estructuras necesarias para garantizar el paso y la integridad de las estructuras de protección de las tuberías.

Crossing structures are used to pass over or under obstacles in the field. There are three types of crossing structure to transport irrigation water, namely: aqueducts, culverts, and inverted syphons, and there also are crossing structures not meant for water conveyance: bridges.

AEGC shall construct all project-related drainage crossing
structures to pass a 100-year flood and AEGC shall coordinate with
the Illinois Department of Natural Resources to ensure the new
floodplain crossings are appropriately designed to minimize impacts

I can't copy from this page, but it's worth a look.
