They are often called "footbridges"--for example, the Arthur Fieder Footbridge in Boston: http://tinyurl.com/kph7uy2 "Overpass" by itself usually means a vehicular overpass for cars. When it is for pedestrians it needs to be called a "pedestrian overpass." As Bruce says, "pedestrian bridge" works, too. "Skyway" is also used: the Minneapolis Skyway System, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minneapolis_Skyway_System
