The bus jump over the "missing" piece of the raised freeway was the most expensive shot in the film due both to the digital effects and the stunt work. There's no actual gap meaning it was created via visual fx, and Jan De Bont had them add birds where the gap is to help complete the illusion. He was also told that the bus would only go fifteen feet or so, despite being a stripped down model, so he set most of his cameras accordingly to catch the landing. In reality, the bus jumped over and past the cameras having more than doubled the expected distance. It landed on and destroyed one camera set further back while a second was able to capture the landing.
