English term

Sidewalk bridge

English to Spanish Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering Construction work terminology.
I would like to know the best translation of this phrase from American English into Ecuadorian Spanish. You can also provide me other suggestions from Latin American Spanish.

Colleagues from Spain, feel free to send me your suggestions as well.

It's a translation of a legal deposition done to someone from Ecuador. This was done for an American attorney and a witness from this country. He is a construction worker for a construction company located in New York State,

This is for Latin People living in The United States and Americans readers. Is okay to translate it as puente de acera?

Attorney: What happened to you when you were doing your work over that sidewalk bridge?

Spanish speaking witness from Ecuador:
Yo estaba trabajando en ese puente y entonces me caí de este puente porque había problemas con el material del cual ese puente había sido hecho. Yo me caí del lado derecho de mi cuerpo y mi cuerpo golpeó el suelo. Los pedazos de madera se rompieron con el golpe. Yo me caí aproximadamente de 4 pies de altura.

He was the victim and the witness as well. Mr. Phigoddard, he was the witness and the victim of this terrible accident.
Yugoslavia
philgoddard Mar 17:
But he wasn't a witness, he was the victim. He's answered the question, so he must have understood it. And he was working on the bridge, so he knows what the phrase means.
This all just sounds strange - have they really asked you to translate the English into Spanish and the Spanish into English? The latter should be done by a native speaker.
yugoslavia (asker) Mar 17:
The witness needs to know the translation. Hi Mr. Philgoddard,

Thanks for the message. The witness needs to know the Spanish word for sidewalk bridge. He doesn't speak English well and he lives in The United States. Yugoslavia
philgoddard Mar 17:
Why are you translating this? Surely the English bits should be left in English. Or alternatively, the English should be translated into Spanish and the Spanish left unchanged, depending on what your customer has asked for.
philgoddard Mar 17:
I've tried to correct this, but each time I do, it happens twice so it ends up in the wrong language direction again. Perhaps you or someone else could try.
yugoslavia (asker) Mar 17:
Apologies My apologies, the right language pair is American English into Ecuadorian Spanish.
Thanks.

puente de acera

Like my namesake, I also initially thought it meant a pedestrian bridge. However, following Phil's comment and link, I found this definition:

"Un puente de acera es la protección construida sobre una acera situada junto a un proyecto de construcción.

Un instalador de puente de acera se lesionó y cayó de aproximadamente 20 pies ...

Es exactamente eso.
