Even After You See it,
it is Still Hard To Believe!
Water   Bridge in Germany . 
What A Feat !  
The Photo Was Taken On The Day Of inauguration . . .  

 
To those who appreciate engineering projects, 
here's a puzzle for your  armchair engineers and physicists. 
 
Question:
  
 
Did that bridge have to be designed to withstand the additional weight of ship and barge traffic, 
or just the weight of the water?  
  

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

 
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.  
Six years, 500 million Euros, 
918 meters long . . . 
now, this is engineering!  
 
This is a channel-bridge over the River Elbe and joins the former East and West Germany ,
as part of the unification project. It is located in the city of  Magdeburg ,
near Berlin .

The Incredible Magdeburg Water   Bridge in Germany 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. 
 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,
