The
Leipzig/Halle Airport, sometimes called Schkeuditz Airport, is located
in Schkeuditz, Germany and serves both Leipzig and Halle – two of the
largest cities in the country. Lack of space required the modern airport
terminal structure to spill over the adjacent motorway and railway that
intersects the runway at right angles. To make room for the runway
without affecting vehicular traffic on motorway A14 and rail traffic,
three bridges were constructed over the motorway and the tracks, that
allowed the parallel runways to extend to their full length of 3.6 km.
These bridges are called Taxiways. Aircrafts would taxi on these
taxiways at the time of takeoff and landing, while vehicles ply on the
motorway below. Taxiway E7 and E8 on the east are used as one way taxis
and connect the terminal with the northern runway, while the third
taxiway W1 in the west is used in both direction.
