It only needs to be designed to withstand the weight of the water! 5.39.217.778 i5 h1 l/ P2 w
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

At 918 meters, it is the longest navigable aqueduct in the world.
( ?8 i- { C- \' {) a0 i8 p0 oThe 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. 公仔箱論壇; L/ m; s+ z0 Z! j4 e

Construction of the water link was started as early as in the 1930s but due to the World War 2 and subsequent division of Germany the work remained suspended till 1997. The aqueduct was finally completed and opened to the public in 2003.
