f youve ever driven toward Chicago and watched a full-sized jet roll directly over a highway, youve seen one of Americas strangest transportation designs hiding in plain sight. At OHare International Airport, airplanes dont just cross runwaysthey cross highways, rolling over bridges originally built for cars.
This episode explores how Chicagos obsession with layered infrastructurefrom elevated trains to underground freight tunnelsled to the creation of aircraft bridges spanning the Kennedy Expressway. Built in the 1960s to support the weight and forces of jets like the Boeing 747, these structures allowed OHare to expand without sacrificing vital roadways. What looks bizarre today is actually the result of decades of engineering, growth, and a city determined to stay Americas transportation crossroads.
