A causeway is a road or railway route across a broad body of water or
wetland raised up on an embankment. Some causeways may only be usable at
low tide and the distinction between causeways and viaducts can become
blurred when flood-relief culverts are incorporated in the structure.
A
causeway
is however primarily supported on earth or stone, whereas a bridge or
viaduct is mainly supported by free-standing columns or arches.
