It only needs to be designed to withstand the weight of the water! 4 q. }$ L" r0 m$ [9 l+ F( B
Why? A ship always displaces an amount of water that weighs the same as the ship, regardless of how heavily a ship may be loadedtvb now,tvbnow,bttvb- e! [( a+ Y% ~( Y* r4 P0 @

The Magdeburg Water Bridge is a navigable aqueduct in Germany that connects the Elbe-Havel Canal to the Mittelland Canal and allows ships to cross over the Elbe River. At 918 meters, it is the longest navigable aqueduct in the world.tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb' u0 |# H2 V% D. J
The Elbe-Havel and Mittelland canals had previously met near Magdeburg but on opposite sides of the Elbe Ships moving between the two had to make a 12-kilometer detour, descending from the Mittelland Canal through the Rothensee boat lift into the Elbe, then sailing downstream on the river, before entering the Elbe-Havel Canal through Niegripp lock. Low water levels in the Elbe often prevented fully laden canal barges from making this crossing, requiring time-consuming off-loading of cargo.

Construction of the water link was started as early as in the 1930s but due to the World War 2 and subsequent division of Germany the work remained suspended till 1997. The aqueduct was finally completed and opened to the public in 2003.
