The Candaba Viaduct  is a 5-kilometer viaduct carrying


the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) across swampland in
Candaba, Pampanga. Consisting of four lanes (two northbound
and two southbound), it is the longest bridge in the Philippines.

  The viaduct was designed by Aas-Jakobsen[1] and built by
Construction Development Corporation of the Philippines
(CDCP, later renamed to Philippine National Construction
Corporation) as part of construction of the whole NLEX.

partnership,[2][3][4] it was designed by the French structural
engineer Michel Virlogeux and English architect Norman Foster.
As of November 2018, it is the tallest bridge in the world, having a
structural height of 336.4 metres

Viaduct - A viaduct is a bridge composed of several small spans for crossing a valley, dry or wetland, or forming an
overpass or flyover. The term is conventional for a rail flyover as opposed to a flying junction or a rail bridge which
crosses one feature.

Flyover - is a bridge, road, railway or similar structure that crosses over another road or railway.
An overpass and underpass together form a grade separation.[1] Stack interchanges are made up of many
overpasses.

5. Advantage of flyover
flyovers help to streamline the traffic control system by helping to reduce traffic congestion. Reduced
horizontal curvature reduces risk of off-road crashes. The impact of the flyover construction to curb traffic
congestion problem has been assessed in terms of traffic
Amazing Flyovers Around the World
The Judge Harry Pregerson Interchange,
California, USA
Don’t go by the entangled look of this structure. Always
busy, this overpass in Los Angeles has a High-occupancy
Vehicle (HOV) or carpool lane, and a Harbor Transitway. It
is a meeting point primarily for two freeways, Interstate-105
(Glenn M. Anderson Freeway) and Interstate-110 (Harbor
Freeway). This flyover is named after the federal judge who
was ruling the case for the construction of Freeway I-105.

Spaghetti Junction, Birmingham, UK

Though it opened in 1972, it got its name in 1965. The sub-


editor of the local Birmingham Evening Mail had titled the
news article of the then unfinished flyover construction as
‘Spaghetti Junction’. The real name of this intersection is
Gravelly Hill Interchange.

Binhai Flyover, Tianjin, China

The Binhai bridge in the northern Chinese municipality of


Tianjin is next on the list of the world’s most amazing
flyovers. With a length of 5.3 km, it connects the city’s port,
the Tianjin Development Zone, and the old urban district.
Besides, it looks spectacular at night.

High Five Interchange, Dallas, USA


With five interchange ramps, this ‘high five’ is a
composition of 37 bridges spread across all five levels. It
joins the Lyndon B. Johnson Freeway (Interstate 635) and
the Central Expressway (US Highway 75). Interestingly, this overpass in Texas, USA, has a biking and
hiking trail under all five planes, which is called the Cottonwood Trail.

The Circle Interchange, Chicago, USA


Or, as it is officially known, the Jane Byrne Interchange in
the United States, puts together the Dan Ryan, Kennedy and
Eisenhower expressways. An example of a ‘turbine
interchange’, this structure differs from the usual four or
five-level stack interchanges. The design is more flattened.
However, it is rather known for its heavy traffic and
congestion.

Kathipara Junction, Chennai, India


One of the largest cloverleaf interchanges in Asia, the
Kathipara junction is situated in the southern Indian city of
Chennai. It eases the traffic inflow from four different
roads, including the Grand Southern Trunk Road or
National Highway 45. Maduravoyal, also in Chennai, is
another crucial cloverleaf junction built in 2010, where the
National Highway 4 and Chennai Bypass intersect.

Tom Moreland Interchange, Georgia, USA


Tom Moreland, after whom the stack interchange is
named, is an ex-commissioner of the Georgia Department
of Transportation. He served during the 1980s. This flyover in
the United States connects the Interstate 85, Interstate
285, and many other access roads along its five stacks. It
was built to especially eliminate the frequent congestion
caused at the intersection.
