Water Bridge in Germany.... What a feat!

Water Bridge

Six years to build, 500 million euros later, 918 meters long.......now this is engineering!

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. The photo was taken on the day of inauguration.

That goes to prove that engineers can build anything, just give them some time and throw lots of money their way.

    I have no idea, the way I would do it is have locks just like the British canals. You would have a boat enter, then slide a lock behind him and fill the area with water, thus elevating the boat, then open the front lock and have the boat move forward.
