For other uses, see Overpass (disambiguation).
An overpass, called an overbridge or flyover (for a road only) in the United Kingdom and some other Commonwealth countries, is a bridge, road, railway or similar structure that is over another road or railway. An overpass and underpass together form a grade separation.[1] Stack interchanges are made up of several overpasses.
