A bridge to enable intersection of a first cable raceway and a second cable raceway. The first raceway has a first raceway section and a second raceway section joined by the bridge. The bridge includes a body shaped to communicate with the first and second raceway sections of the first raceway to define a continuous cable pathway from the first raceway section to the second raceway section. The body has a tunnel in its bottom side shaped to permit the second raceway to intersect the first raceway, whereby cables situated in the respective raceways may be prevented from touching.

1. A bridge for enabling intersection of a cable and wire raceway with another object, comprising:the bridge having a body with opposite ends shaped to cooperate with respective opposed ends of first and second raceway sections and the bridge is shaped to define a continuous cable or wire pathway from the first raceway section over the bridge to the second raceway section;the first and second raceway sections and the bridge having a bottom side;a fixture through the bridge oriented for receiving an intersecting obstacle extending across the bridge, so that the intersecting obstacle may intersect with the bridge while the bridge carries cable or wire between the first and second raceway sections without the cable or wire in the pathway at the bridge being blocked from passage in the cable or wire pathway by the intersecting obstacle, the fixture having a top which is above the bottom side of the bridge such that a top side of the intersecting obstacle is above the bottom side of the bridge. 2. The bridge of claim 1, wherein the fixture for receiving the intersecting obstacle comprises a tunnel defined at and extending above the bottom side of the bridge. 3. The bridge of claim 2, wherein the top of the fixture comprises a top side of the tunnel which is closed toward the cable or wire pathway of the bridge to not permit contact between the cable or wire in the cable pathway and in the intersecting obstacle. 4. The bridge of claim 3, wherein the tunnel has a bottom which is open permitting the bridge to be placed over the intersecting obstacle in the tunnel. 5. The bridge of claim 2, wherein the tunnel is of such size and such cross section and the top of the tunnel is of such height relative to the intersecting obstacle that with the intersecting obstacle that with the intersecting in the tunnel, the intersecting obstacle does not protrude out of the bottom side of bridge at the tunnel. 6. The bridge of claim 5, wherein the intersecting obstacle is of such a height and the tunnel has such a height that the first and second raceway sections and the bridge have a top at generally the same height without the tunnel interfering with cables or wires passing through the cable pathway on the bridge. 7. The bridge of claim 5, wherein the first and second raceway sections and the bridge each have a top, wherein the height of the bridge and the top thereof are selected so that the tunnel does not interfere with cables or wires passing through the cable pathway on the bridge. 8. The bridge of claim 7, wherein the height of the tunnel is tall enough that the bridge height over the tunnel is higher than the height of the first and second raceway sections. 9. The bridge of claim 5, wherein the tunnel has a bottom which is open permitting the bridge to be placed over the intersecting obstacle in the tunnel. 10. The bridge of claim 5, wherein the bottom sides of the first and second raceway sections and of the bridge are at the same height enabling their positioning against a surface. 11. The bridge of claim 1, further comprising first and second connecting arrangements at opposite ends of the bridge shaped and adapted to cooperate with the opposed ends of the first and second raceway sections for fastening the bridge to the first and second raceway sections. 12. The bridge of claim 1, wherein the tunnel including a top side of the tunnel extends up from the bottom side of the bridge, and the bridge has lateral sides upstanding from the bottom. 13. The bridge of claim 12, further comprising a cover over the bridge and joining the lateral sides for closing the cable or wire pathway along the bridge. 14. The bridge of claim 12, wherein the tunnel has a bottom which is open permitting the bridge to be placed over the intersecting obstacle in the tunnel. 15. The bridge of claim 1, wherein the bottom sides of the first and second raceway sections and of the bridge are at the same height enabling their positioning against a surface. 16. In combinat ion, the bridge of claim 2, wherein the first raceway section is shaped and positioned for receiving and cooperating with the first end of the bridge and the second raceway section is shaped and positioned for cooperating with the second end of the bridge;the obstacle comprising an intersecting cable or wire raceway intersecting the bridge and passing across the bridge through the tunnel. 17. The combination of claim 16, wherein the tunnel is of such size and cross section relative to the intersecting raceway that with the intersecting raceway in the tunnel, the intersecting raceway does not protrude out of bottom side of the bridge at the tunnel. 18. The combination of claim 17, wherein the tunnel has a bottom which is open permitting the bridge to be placed over the intersecting obstacle in the tunnel. 19. The combination of claim 16, further comprising first and second connecting arrangements at opposite ends of the bridge shaped and adapted to cooperate with the opposed ends of the first and second raceway sections for fastening the bridge to the first and second raceway sections. 20. The combination of claim 16, wherein the intersecting raceway is of such a height and the tunnel has such a height that the first and second raceway sections and the bridge have a top at generally the same height without the tunnel interfering with cables or wires passing through the cable pathway on the bridge. 21. The combination of claim 16, wherein the first and second raceway sections and the bridge each have a top, wherein the height of the bridge and the top thereof are selected so that the tunnel does not interfere with cables or wires passing through the cable pathway on the bridge. 22. The combination of claim 21, wherein the height of the tunnel is tall enough that the bridge height over the tunnel is higher than the height of the first and second raceway sections. 23. The combination of claim 16, wherein the tunnel has a bottom which is open permitting the bridge to be placed over the intersecting obstacle in the tunnel. 24. The combination of claim 16, wherein the bottom sides of the first and second raceway sections and of the bridge are at the same height enabling their positioning against a surface. 25. A cable raceway assembly, comprising:a first cable raceway and a second cable raceway,the first raceway having a first raceway section and a second raceway section; anda bridge to enable intersection of the first and second cable raceways, the bridge including a body shaped to communicate with the first and second raceway sections of the first raceway, to define a continuous cable pathway from the first raceway section to the second raceway section; the body being shaped to permit the second raceway to intersect the continuous cable pathway, while enabling cables situated in the first and second respective raceways to be prevented from touching each other;the body has a bottom side and a tunnel at the bottom side ot the body and the tunnel extending up from the bottom side, the tunnel being shaped to receive the second raceway, the second receway extending through the tunnel, the tunnel permitting the second raceway to intersect the continuous cable patheway without cables in the first and second raceways touching each other. 26. The cable raceway assembly of claim 25, further comprising a divider arranged in the continuous cable pathway, the divider being configured to separate cables extending through the continuous cable pathway. 27. The cable raceway assembly of claim 25, wherein the bottom sides of the first and second raceway sections and of the bridge are at the same height enabling their positioning against a surface.
