Title: Unusual Runway at the Gibraltar Airport Post by: Ryan Martis on June 30, 2009, 05:55:05 AM Imagine a runway crossing Western Express Highway – Mumbai, Santacruz…..
You must be thinking I am kidding…. Read on… and see for yourself We have heard of highways being used as runways in some countries. But this is the first time I have seen roads crossing a runway and road traffic being stopped by a traffic light while an aircraft takes off or lands! Absolutely amazing! The mind boggles…… (http://i328.photobucket.com/albums/l336/glamgalz/funzug/imgs/unusual/gibraltar_airport_runway_01.jpg) Title: Re: Unusual Runway at the Gibraltar Airport Post by: Ryan Martis on June 30, 2009, 05:55:21 AM (http://i328.photobucket.com/albums/l336/glamgalz/funzug/imgs/unusual/gibraltar_airport_runway_02.jpg)

British Gibraltar has very little area, and the important airport runway takes up a major portion of land. To drive from Gibraltar to Spain, vehicles must cross the runway. |
