under bridges is fine... I once hitched across US & would sleep under freeway bridges - dry fairly safe if a little noisey... they always had a flat area that made a good sleeping are - as long as you didn't roll over
You can hide from tornados under them, according to a film I saw.
Apparently you should only do this in films, though, as in real life the tornado kills you

Reason: typo
Another commonly held belief is that highway overpasses provide adequate shelter from tornadoes. On the contrary, a highway overpass is a dangerous place during a tornado. In the Oklahoma Tornado Outbreak of May 3, 1999, three highway overpasses were directly struck by tornadoes, and at all three locations there was a fatality, along with many life-threatening injuries. The small area under the overpasses created a kind of wind tunnel, increasing the wind's speed, making the situation worse.
