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

The aqueduct in Håverud, Sweden, is sligthly smaller, built in 1868, it is
claimed to be the only one where
river, canal, railway and road cross each other. It is a little hard to
catch all one photo.

From the roadbride you see the aqueduct and the railroadbridge:
