Did that bridge have to be designed to withstand the additional weight of ship and barge traffic,: u4 x2 C5 t5 ^' X3 Z
Or just the weight of the water?

It only needs to be designed to withstand the weight of the water!

The Incredible Magdeburg Water Bridge in Germany
S7 C( a# D+ h$ |- c! X8 N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.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。5 v0 _. {& P; K8 C" M9 p- H' Y" K
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.
