Amazing water bridge passes over a river in Germany
Does not know any human no matter how impossible it seemed strange or irrational, even if the water above the bridge crossing the water to ships
What you see above is a true picture of the Magdeburg Water Bridge in Germany, which is one of the strangest bridges of the world because it is designed for ships crossing over the river Elbe in Germany!
The length of this waterway, 918 meters and width 43 m, and connecting channels between the Alps and Mitiland Havel in Germany.
The fallopian Alp Havel and Mitiland connected corridor of water is passing through vessels across the river Elbe for a distance of 12 kilometers, and was of this corridor uncomfortable problem is the low water levels in the river Elbe as it requires a dock to raise and lower ships as they move to and from the river Elbe, and this process was require time and effort, so engineers search for other ways to connect with some of the channels was the idea is to pass a bridge over the river!!
Interestingly, the project is not new, but work began in the thirties of the last century, and then stopped because of World War II and after because of the division of Germany until he returned the work in 1997, to be completed and built to be opened for the passage of vessels after 6 years in 2003.
Cost the bridge that we see in the photos and $ 727 million needed for the canal basin 24,000 tons of steel and 68,000 cubic meters of cement. To imagine the size of this engineering achievement imagine that this bridge holds 134 thousand tons of water to be able to raise large ships!!
Who would have imagined that could create a bridge to cross the ship above the water
