causeway

n. road across a low or wet place

For other uses, see Causeway (disambiguation) In modern usage, a causeway is a road or railway elevated by a bank, usually across a broad body of water or wetland. A transport corridor that is carried instead on a series of arches, perhaps approaching a bridge, is a viaduct. In the U.S. a short stretch of viaduct is called an overpass. The distinction between the terms causeway and viaduct becomes blurred when flood-relief culverts are incorporated. Many causeways are tidal, being covered for a period surrounding high tide.
