Did that bridge have to be designed to withstand the additional weight of ship and barge traffic,公仔箱論壇& v+ L/ Y# F4 K* x) S" H

Why? A ship always displaces an amount of water that weighs the same as the ship, regardless of how heavily a ship may be loaded

1 W7 B5 h* Y8 ?The Incredible Magdeburg Water Bridge in Germany
! K; S2 d( t5 s# C( g7 ]公仔箱論壇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.5 x# u6 q0 P1 j5 Z0 d) P
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.
