  Dhiraj P. Lad,  R.D.Patil

The Bridge is a structure that provides a passage over a gap or obstacle like a roadway, tunnel, river, etc. Construction of bridges is always challenging for the civil engineer. The different types of bridges play a different role according to their types and material. The pedestrian bridge is one of the popular bridges which is used to eliminate the delay and congestion in traffic on the highway. Similarly, the foot over bridge is used to eliminate the conflicts between vehicles or railway. The foot over the bridge can be made of any combination of material namely concrete, steel or composites. Now-days it is observed that use steel foot over bridges is more because it gives safe, efficient and economical results with speedy construction. The objective of this paper is to present the detailed concept and working principle of various configurations of the foot over bridges and the current trends in implementation of the foot over the bridge for pedestrian or cyclist. In addition to these various problems associated with the foot over the bridge are also discussed. A detailed investigation of literature available in the field of the foot over bridges carried out and the summary and gaps encountered in the study are listed in this paper.

Keywords- foot over bridge, steel materials, timber, truss types.
