Water Bridge Over a River


This one is the real technology,even after you see i,t it is still hard to believe!
Water bridge in Germany.6 years 500 million euros,918 meter long,this is the real engineering.
This is the channel-bridge over the river Elbe and joins the former East and West Germany,as part of unification project.it is located in the city of Magdeburg,near Berlin.
The photo was taken on the day of inaugration.
To those who appreciate engineering projects,here is a puzzle for you Armchair engineers and 
physicists.Did that bridge have to be designed to withstand the additional weight of ship and
barge traffic,or just the weight of the water?
