It only needs to be designed to withstand the weight of the water! & ^) r2 w+ u' q" [* a( `- ~
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% @0 j0 O# p& Z$ f% [# \

The Incredible Magdeburg Water Bridge in Germany
+ _: L) J3 J& Q, o% h3 j4 w9 rThe 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.TVBNOW 含有熱門話題,最新最快電視,軟體,遊戲,電影,動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。7 G/ t" ]4 i. O' F" R7 G$ b6 D4 ~4 r
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. 5.39.217.76) a6 S4 W. D) B- |- i( [. D

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.
