Sea link
Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-005109
A transportation connection, such as a bridge or tunnel, constructed across a body of seawater to link two landmasses.

Prominent examples, like the Øresund Bridge connecting Denmark and Sweden, combine bridge and tunnel sections to accommodate shipping lanes.
