Difference between doro and michi
What is the difference between doro and michi? From my understanding, they both mean road. Also what is the difference between o-hashi and hashi? (chopsticks and bridge)

Doro (道路) is a word of Chinese origin. It usually means a relatively broad, paved road.
Michi (道 or 路) is a pure Japanese word and it has much broader meanings. It can mean a road, highway, street, avenue, path, passage, lane, alley, or a way of any width. Unlike doro, it can also figuratively mean a way, course, choice, means, duty, morality, teachings, justice or the like.
I will show you a few examples of its figurative uses:
仏の道 (hotoke no michi) = Buddha's teachings
人の道 (hito no michi) = moral principle
柔の道 (yawara no michi) = the art of judo

What Flora-san said is correct and these words "chopsticks" and "bridge" aren't pronounced the same, they have different accent. We say o-hAshi/ hAshi (chopsticks) and hashI (bridge). Though I'd like to explain about "douro" and "michi", it's hard for me to explain them in English. Please wait for other people's answer.

The words "chopsticks" and "bridge" have the same Hiragana, but different Kanji. When they're written in Hiragana, you can know the meaning from the context.
