It only needs to be designed to withstand the weight of the water!
' j {$ }) Y! ^8 E5 P3 g4 ]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- @8 _0 u8 ~1 x0 r/ ~. Z

The Incredible Magdeburg Water Bridge in Germanytvb now,tvbnow,bttvb/ S/ r$ }6 ~ M7 @7 s1 ~ _
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.; s- t! W& ~ f/ \3 ^
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, 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. + y0 B. O2 r4 g" ^
# r. \" m$ H& t/ W' m& j0 \% r) u, rtvb now,tvbnow,bttvbConstruction 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.
