Narita airport holds ceremony over extending shorter runway

NARITA, Japan - Transport minister Kazuo Kitagawa (C) and Chiba Gov. Akiko Domoto (L) pose for a photo during a ceremony held at Narita International Airport on Sept. 15 to mark the start of work to extend the shorter of its two runways to 2,500 meters. Work on the 2,180-meter runway has been on hold since the 2002 opening due in part to landowners refusing to give up land needed for the extension. (Kyodo)

    The Residential Building Under A Bridge in Guiyang

    GUIYANG, CHINA - OCTOBER 31, 2023 - Residents live in more than 10 residential buildings under the 300-meter-long approach bridge of Shuikousi Bridge in Guiyang, Guizhou Province, China, October 31, 2023. The shortest distance between the roof of the residential building and the bridge slab is less than one meter. The houses also shake with the bridge every time a heavy car passes by. In the 1990s, part of the land was requisitioned for the construction of the airport expressway. As compensation, the vacant land under the bridge is used to build resettlement housing and low-rent housing for poor families. The bridge was completed in May 1997, and the residential buildings were completed in 1999. These houses still do not have real estate procedures, becoming a ''historical problem'' in the city.
