    The document discusses flyovers and viaducts. It defines a flyover as a bridge that crosses over another road or railway, allowing traffic to pass without intersecting. A viaduct is composed of several small spans and may span land or water. The document describes the typical construction process for a flyover/viaduct including excavation, foundations, abutments, piers, beam erection, decking, and pavement. It also discusses design considerations and different types of materials used like concrete, stone, brick, and steel.

    Overpass / Flyovers
    ? An overpass (called a flyover in the UK and
    most Commonwealth countries) is a bridge,
    road, railway or similar structure that crosses
    over another road or railway.

    ? A pedestrian overpass allows pedestrians


    safe crossing over busy roads without
    impacting traffic.

    Viaduct
    ? A viaduct is a bridge composed of several
    small spans.

    ? Many viaducts comprised a series of arches


    of roughly equal length. Viaducts may span
    land or water.

    Viaduct cont..
    ? Many viaducts over land connect points of similar
    height in a land level.

    ? Viaducts over water are often combined with other


    types of bridges or tunnels to cross passable water.

    ? The viaduct sections, while less expensive to design


    and build than tunnels or bridges with larger spans.
