List of road-rail bridges


Road-rail bridges are bridges shared by road transport and rail transport. They are sometimes called combined bridges.
The road and rail on these bridges are often on the same level, but segregated, so that rail vehicles could operate at the same time as road vehicles. The roadway can also be above the rail tracks, or vice versa.
Sometimes, the road and rail share the same carriageway on the bridge. In these cases, road traffic usually must stop when trains are using the bridge. However, if the bridge is wide enough, both kinds of traffic can operate together as well.
"Rail" in this case include all types of rail transport.
