Germany has a water bridge that allows massive ships to cross over another river!

It's called the Magdeburg Water Bridge and it's a navigable aqueduct in Germany that connect the Elbe-Havel Canal to the Mitteland Canal and allows ships to cross over the Elbe river. It measures 918 meters, which makes it the longest navigable aqueduct in the world.

Before this bridge was built, ships had to go on a 12 KM detour to pass from Elbe-Havel to the Mittelland canal, also, the Elbe had low water levels at some points, making it hard for fully loaded barges to cross and causing expensive off-loading of cargo.
