4335. Taxiway bridge Changi Airport over Airport Boulevard

 

Yes, planes cross a bridge at Changi Airport as a taxiway bridge over Airport Boulevard. This view is a popular subject for aviation enthusiasts, with the "South Cross Bridge" being a specific, frequently photographed taxiway that goes over the road. 
  • What it is: The bridge is part of the airport's taxiway system, allowing planes to move between different parts of the airfield without having to wait for or cross active roads.
  • Why it's notable: The design is visually striking, especially with planes crossing over the road. It's a popular spot for plane spotters, particularly at sunset.
  • Notable incidents: In 2017, a tow tug caught fire while pulling a Singapore Airlines Boeing 777 across this bridge, causing damage to the aircraft.
  • How to see it: You can sometimes see this view from aircraft during taxiing, or from designated viewing areas around the airport and nearby public areas.
