Polish term or phrase: łącznik

Budynki B i C połączone są z głównym budynkiem łącznikami (kładkami) na kondygnacjach +2 ÷ +8.

Wiem że ten termin już się pojawiał, ale "connector building" nie pasuje mi tutaj. Chodzi raczej o taki "zadaszony mostek" pomiędzy budynkami. Coś jak między sławnymi wieżowcami w Malezji, oczywiście w innej skali: http://www.visitedasia.com/UserFiles/2007/6/28/malaysia.jpg

Definicje "catwalk":
"narrow pathway high in the air (as above a stage or between parts of a building or along a bridge)";

"In an urban setting, a skyway, catwalk, or skywalk, is a type of pedway consisting of an enclosed (or covered) bridge between two buildings. This protects pedestrians from the weather. These skyways are usually owned by businesses, and are therefore not public spaces (compare with sidewalk). ..."

I żeby nie było wątpliwości, co było pierwsze:
"Catwalk, a term probably derived from catwalks that connect adjacent buildings, describes a narrow, usually elevated platform used by models to demonstrate clothing and accessories during a fashion show. ..."

Jeszcze z jakiegoś forum:
"Yeah, the current tallest building is that funky 2-tower thing with the catwalk in Malatsia (forgot the city)..."
