Navigable aqueducts (sometimes called water bridges) are bridge structures that carry navigablewaterwaycanals over other rivers, valleys, railways or roads. They are primarily distinguished by their size, carrying a larger cross-section of water than most water-supply aqueducts. Although Roman aqueducts were sometimes used for transport, aqueducts were not generally used until the 17th century when the problems of summit level canals had been solved and modern canal systems were developed. The 662-metre long steelBriare aqueduct carrying the Canal latéral à la Loire over the River Loire was built in 1896. It was ranked as the longest navigable aqueduct in the world for more than a century, until the Magdeburg Water Bridge in Germany took the title in the early 21st century.
Early aqueducts such as the three on the Canal du Midi had stone or brick arches, the longest span being 18.3 metres on the Cesse Aqueduct, built in 1690. But, the weight of the construction to support the trough with the clay or other lining to make it waterproof made these structures clumsy. In 1796 the first large cast iron aqueduct was built by Thomas Telford at Longdon-on-Tern on the Shrewsbury Canal. It has a total length of 57 metres across three intermediate piers. Within ten years Telford had completed the far more ambitious Pontcysyllte Aqueduct in Wales on the Llangollen Canal over the River Dee valley, with a total length 307 metres. Other cast-iron aqueducts followed, such as the single-span Stanley Ferry Aqueduct on the Calder and Hebble Navigation in 1839, with its innovative 50-metre through arch design.
Forget tunnels, bridges, or drawbridges... This Dutch navigable aqueduct unique water bridge is the way to go.

WELCOME TO THE FUTURE - The navigable aqueduct in the Netherlands #Shorts #Engineering
Open since 2002, the Veluwemeer Aqueduct is an impressive piece of architecture and engineering. This waterway measures just 25 meters long by 19 meters wide and is located in Harderwijk, about 60 km east of Amsterdam, the Netherlands. During the design of this unique structure, the engineers chose to build the waterway over the N302 road. Veluwemeer is a 3 meters deep shallow water bridge that allows the passage of small boats and other water vehicles. In addition to this easy passage by boat, pedestrian crossings are on both sides allowing for pedestrian traffic. Unlike lift bridges or other road structures, the hydrographic bridge design implemented in this aqueduct allows for a constant flow of traffic both on the road and on the water.

Veluwemeer Aqueduct - a 25m long navigable aqueduct located in Veluwemeer lake in Netherland
The Chirk /Pontcysyllte Aqueduct is a navigable aqueduct that carries the Llangollen Canal across the River Dee in the Vale of Llangollen in northeast Wales. The 18-arched stone and cast iron structure is for use by narrowboats and was completed in 1805 having taken ten years to design and build.
Designed and built by Thomas Telford and Williams Jessop, Pontcysyllte means ' the bridge that connects'
