Suppose you are driving on the freeway and there is a road that is built on top of the road that you are currently driving on. For example, a transit that takes cars up to their exit or maybe it's just a regular road that was built on top of the freeway. Is there a specific name for such roads? Could I refer to such roads as a "bridge"?
Would it be acceptable to say, "A car was parked underneath the bridge" in such a situation or is there another word for such roads?

Adding to Nathan's answer, the word you're looking for is overpass (or flyover, if you're in the UK and other Commonwealth countries). For example, in India, where I reside, flyover is what we call such constructions where there is a road that passes over another road.
From the Cambridge Dictionary:
overpass and flyover have the same meaning: bridge that carries a road or railway over another road.
