A brunnel is a crossbreed of a bridge with a tunnel. It has been used somewhere to describe
constructions where it is not easy to decide whether a grade separated crossing is better
described as a tunnel under a road or bridge above something. The distinction between bridge 
and tunnel variant is somewhat arbitrary, very often completely uninteresting - and in many 
cases the construction is really something of a mix of a bridge and tunnel.
