A bridge is a structure built to span a physical obstacle, such as a river or road, allowing for transportation over it. An elevated highway, on the other hand, is a roadway raised above ground level, often supported by columns or beams, allowing vehicles to travel over existing roads or terrain. While both structures elevate traffic, bridges primarily connect two points, whereas elevated highways are part of a continuous roadway system.
metres above the mean sea level
Plinth beam is provided to 1. support the wall above it 2. act as tie beam for columns
A wier is a way to have a road cross a stream or wash. It also acts likes a dam, because it is raised a little above the water level, thereby limiting the flow of water past the point.

Non suspended concrete slabs sit on the ground directly. They are different from suspended slabs because suspended slabs are above the ground and are supported by beams.
Superstructure
It is any type of support beam or structure.
span
the above portion of the earth is called the earth's crust
It is the portion of the character that lies above the midline.
No, typically the underwater portion of an iceberg is not bigger than the portion that is visible above water. Icebergs are known to have a larger portion underwater, but this is due to the difference in density between ice and seawater rather than the underwater portion being larger in size.
The Golden Gate Bridge is approximately 220 feet above the water.
Either the supports under the bridge or at the end of the bridge (or both) or the archway supporting the bridge or cables attached to the bridge from above.
Clifton Suspension Bridge has a higher clearance above the river.
The bridge roadway is about 138 feet above the sea.
The above ground portion of the ecosystem, including plants and animals, relies on the below ground portion, such as soil microbes and roots, for nutrient absorption and support. In return, the below ground portion benefits from the above ground portion's supply of carbon and energy in the form of leaf litter and root exudates. This interdependence forms a balanced ecosystem where each community plays a vital role in supporting the other's survival and growth.
