When you travel from one side to the other side of something, like a bridge or a road, your body passes on top of it. For example, when you walk from one end of a bridge to the other, your feet are on the bridge as you cross it.
People often say "go over" when talking about crossing a bridge, a hill, or even a fence, so listen for it when giving or getting directions.
