(British) A bridge that allows traffic to pass over a road, river, railway etc.
Overbridge means: A bridge that allows traffic to pass over a road, river, railway etc.. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than risky behaviour.

overbridge means: A bridge that allows traffic to pass over a road, river, railway etc.. Register: neutral, standard English. A common learner mistake is using the word in a register it does not fit, or assuming a single global meaning; native speakers immediately notice when slang appears in formal contexts, so always check the surrounding register before producing it yourself.
