It only needs to be designed to withstand the weight of the water! 5.39.217.76% ^/ W: s2 d# J, l! O T, ?8 z
Why? A ship always displaces an amount of water that weighs the same as the ship, regardless of how heavily a ship may be loaded5.39.217.76* i) g$ e, _( J) u* I2 B8 }+ S

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.6 x2 h. f& l) @# D, t' A- }
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.
