The Magdeburg Water Bridge (German: Kanalbrücke Magdeburg)
is a large navigable aqueduct in central Germany, located near
Magdeburg . The largest canal underbridge in Europe, it spans
the river Elbe and directly connects the Mittellandkanal to the
west and Elbe-Havel Canal to the east of the river, allowing
large commercial ships to pass between the Rhineland and
Berlin without having to descend into and then climb out of the
Elbe itself.

History

Planning for the canal crossing dates back to at least the
beginning of the 20th century. Work on the Mittellandkanal
began in 1905, while work on the overall project continued until
1942, when all construction was brought to a halt because of
World War II . After the war, the government of East Germany did
not resume work on the project because east-west trade was no
longer important in the context of the Cold War. After the
reunification of Germany , the reestablishment of major water
transport routes made the water bridge a priority again. Work
started in 1998, with construction taking six years and costing
€ 501 million. The water bridge now connects Berlin ’s inland
harbour network with the ports along the Rhine River. The
aqueduct's tough structure incorporates 24,000 tonnes of steel
and 68,000 cubic meters of concrete .
