Remember this!
Footbridge and overpass are both types of bridges used to cross over an obstacle. However, the difference between them lies in their purpose, size, location, construction, and safety. Footbridges are designed for pedestrians and cyclists, are usually smaller and simpler in design, and are found in parks, gardens, or rural areas. On the other hand, overpasses are designed for vehicles, are usually larger and more complex, and are located in urban areas or highways.
