<p>All viaducts are bridges but not each bridge is a viaduct.</p> <p>A succession a number of bridges with short spans in relation to the total length the structure is called a trestle. If the spans are long, around 150 - 200+ ft, we have a viaduct.</p> <p>The approaches of the Detroit Superior Bridge fit the viaduct definition, but as each approach span is an open-spandrel arch bridge, I would tend to arch bridge.<br />But that is disputable.<br />Regards, Volker</p>
