So when does the border change direction? The air below the bridge or at the bridge?

this German exclave in Belgium?
This goes back to the discussions we had earlier this year about
sovereignty always or not always being vertical,
extending to the
heavens and to the center of the earth. See
the photo library and
past messages - there is a diagram there getting
to the heart of what
is included in the "track bed".
This concept of interrupted
verticality of borders existed at Steinstuecken
(where there was a W
German bridge over E German RR tracks inside the W
Berlin exclave),
still exists on the bridges over the US-Mexico
border, and on the
bridge crossing the D-Luxembourg condominium.
