Apparently, hydraulic engineering back in the early 1800's, wasn't up to task of controlling natural streams and the canal, hence the numerous devices to keep the waters separate. |

Pretty amazing! http://www.funonthenet.in/content/view/223/31/ http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,,990878,00.html 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: http://www.vanerland.com/vanerlandb4...es/haverud.jpg From the aqueduct with the roadbridge: http://anders.hultman.nu/bilder/276/276-15.jpeg /Lars j |
