The following is my question:

A wooden structure consisting of a tower-like staircase called "Sky Ladder" and a six-story-high bridge named "Air corridor" that passes over County Road 175.

In the above sentence, there seems to be no main verb. Can someone help check it out? If it is a wrong sentence, would someone please correct it?

Anyway, thanks a lot for your help.

Just leave that out and it makes sense. You need the commas, too.
