Notes on Meaning

The primary and most common meaning of "cầu đường" in modern Vietnamese is the combined concept of bridges and roads, especially within the context of civil engineering, construction, and public works.
The meaning related to tolls ("thuế cầu đường") is now largely historical or used in specific legal/administrative contexts, as such tolls are no longer common. The term itself is a compound noun where the individual words "cầu" (bridge) and "đường" (road) retain their core meanings.
