Looks like a new thread: Bridges under Bridges.
This reminds me of the time I took some friends on a camping trip so that they could see the New River Gorge Bridge up close and personal. The original observation deck was still in use, and we were surprised to see a fellow free-scaling across the eastern arch structure. We probably stayed for an hour watching. It was fun trying to negotiate all of the hairpins on (then) WV-82 under the bridge in my 1985 Pontiac Catalina, which required three-point turns in several of the curves.

The US 1/301 Lee Bridge in Richmond also has a pedestrian bridge hanging underneath it from its north end to Belle Isle.

In Sherbrooke, the A-410 bridge have a bike path below https://goo.gl/maps/cEYKq3Kv6MUnG1p88 and there's a more or less similar bridge of the same kind the Gordie Howe bridge/Circle Drive in Saskatoon. https://goo.gl/maps/h33RDwCqLyhYkEpC8

There's that point where the Garden State Pkwy goes over the NJ Turnpike in Woodbridge Twp. NJ 514, a.k.a. Main St., diagonally crosses them both. While this is all near Interchange 11 on the pike (and GSP Exit 129), it is technically not part of the ramp structure.

The Lake st./20 bridge was first built in the 1930's and was a truss design, replaced a few years ago with plain bridge. Was amazed at it as a kid and now I go over it to work daily.

It's not a bridge over a bridge, but I've always been amazed by the railroad bridge just east of there, which appears to be held up with timbers.

We have one under Mopac in Austin. I run on it most mornings.
