IMHO it could be tagged as footway and for the particular construction you could use a more specific tag (like: way_type or something special). Did you search for archway or for arcade and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonnade as well? The latter 2 are more construction specific (I think, I am not English native though). Note that arcades have "arced" ceiling/construction where colonnades have ususally flat ones (the term concentrates on the columns where arcade focuses on the arcs).
