Not a good idea. Debris collects under the overpasses and it may take DAYS to find you.

that's what the "experts" say. I have seen lots of footage of storm chasers and storm hiders hunkering down under an overpass and they managed much better than the areas directly outside of the bridge. When I lived in a mobile home in Kansas City there were about three occasions where we packed the kids and cats into the car and parked under the nearest viaduct.
