Taken from definitions:
bridge - A bridge is a single span structure of over 20 feet, measured from face to face of
abutments, or multiple span structures of over 20 feet (including multiple box culverts,
measured between inside of end walls along the centerline of structure). Batteries of pipe
culverts, regardless of their length, are not bridges.
culverts - Culverts are those drainage structures not defined as bridges
highway underpass - A highway underpass is a grade separation where the subject (funding) highway passes under an intersecting highway (also called a Highway Undercrossing)

Bridge Design Manual - LRFD.pdf

Taken from Implementation: Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) is a design methodology that makes use of load and resistance factors based on the known variability of applied loads and material properties. In 1994, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) published the first AASHTO Load and Resistance Factor Bridge Design Specifications. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has mandated the use of LRFD for all bridges for which the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) initiates preliminary engineering after October 2007.
