No, I didn't mean tram-only bridges or roads crossing over tramways in
private right-of-way.. There aren't many of them!

I did mean to exclude crossings in Sydney and Melbourne between trams and
underground railways, or between trams and underground roads, as in
Melbourne with City Link. Sydney's light rail line poses some interesting
dubious cases, however, and raises the hoary old question - when is a bridge
not a bridge, but a tunnel?? Anyone want to start a thread on this one?
