A water bridge for boats built over a river. Pretty amazing!

Google NYS Erie Canal (1 version) for examples nearer to home.




Can you imagine the weight of bridge structure, water & boats.
I wouldn't want to spend too much time under it.


Theoretically, the weight of the water and boats is a constant. What varies
is the people walking across or standing on the bridge.
