It only needs to be designed to withstand the weight of the water! 4 y+ E% a1 R/ V
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

- t- m4 p7 |% S: v. N" _+ ]9 cThe 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.( t6 k* r. N; n' b! q0 v: G
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. 公仔箱論壇$ @: u9 o& d9 [, `& I' r5 {

The aqueduct was finally completed and opened to the public in 2003.
