Cross the way

摘要

The massive undertaking to extend and elevate Runway 9R-27L at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) is nothing short of an engineering marvel. Estimated to cost $791 million, the new 8,000-ft-long south runway will terminate atop a new 60-ft-tall man-made embankment at the east end of the airport. This will allow the runway to cross over the Florida East Coast Railroad, U.S. Highway 1 and new airport perimeter road and access ramps.
