ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Viaduct

Okay kiddo, a viaduct is a really long bridge that helps people and things get from one place to another. It's kind of like a road in the sky!

Imagine you're playing with your toy cars and you want to make them go over a big gap in the middle of your room. You can stack some blocks up to make a little bridge, right? That's kind of what a viaduct is, but waaaay bigger.

Instead of blocks, builders use really strong materials like steel and concrete to make a viaduct. The viaduct can go over things like rivers, valleys, or even buildings. It's like a super highway in the sky!

People use viaducts to get places faster, like a train going from one city to another. Sometimes they're even used for cars too. But always remember, when you're driving on a viaduct, it's important to pay attention to the road and be safe!
