Even after we see it, it is still hard to believe. Water Bridge in Germany took six years, 500 million euros, 918 meters long.
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.
A puzzle... Did the bridge have to be designed to withstand the additional weight of ships and barge traffic or just the weight of water?
Ans: It only needs to be designed to withstand the weight of water.
Why? A ship always displaces an amount of water that weighs the same as the ship.
