However, this 570-meter long bridge gets frozen many times a year due to being located in one of the coldest parts of this planet, which causes it to be slippery and pretty much deadly. Maybe enjoying the river without crossing it is a good experience too, right?
Chennai-Rameshwaram Railways – India
This railway is basically cutting through the sea connecting the mainland of Chennai (Southern India) with Rameshwaram Island. It is literally built on a 103-year-old bridge and it is 2,065 meters long. While riding a train on this bridge, you will see the blue water from both sides.
For an unforgettable travel, you must take this road in order to feel like the train is magically whizzing you across the sea.
Gisborne Airport – New Zealand
Gisborne is a unique airport that has a special feature you will not see anywhere except in the eastern coast of the North Island in New Zealand. The reason is the runway has a railway line passing through in the middle of it.
Yes, trains pass through all day if that was your question, and yes sometimes you can see trains and airplanes cross paths, it is as cool as it sounds, but also dangerous. That’s why the railway authorities and the airport are always in sync to avoid any messed up collision.
Princess Juliana International Airport – Saint Martin
This one is considered as one of the world’s wildest runways ever because the plane goes right above peoples’ head who are sunbathing and relaxing on a beautiful beach. On the other hand, airplanes usually need a minimum of 8,000 feet of runway to land perfectly, but this one is only 7,456 feet.
So in order for the airplane to land, it passes over a beach with hundreds of people in it, a fence, and then a small runway. Plus, this airport welcomes the biggest planes like A747s and A340s.
