Airplanes and automobiles are kept safely apart even though their paths intersect at New York International Airport by means of a two-level intersection, the first evcer built for aircraft. Two bridges span the roadway, each capable of supporting a 300,000-pound plane. The overpass permits the uninterrupted flow of vehicles into the airport while planes taxi to and from the loading ramps.
