Veluwemeer Aqueduct is a 25-metre (82 ft) long, 19 meter wide, navigable aqueduct (also known as a water bridge) located over Veluwemeer Lake in Harderwijk, Netherlands. It was opened in 2002 and bypasses the N302 road.

Veluwemeer Aqueduct, Netherlands

Pictured here is the Veluwemeer Aqueduct in the Netherlands. The aqueduct, completed in 2002, was designed with a different engineering approach: Rather than having traffic cross over Lake Veluwemeer, it uses a tunnel that allows cars to pass underneath, leaving the water free for boats to pass. The tunnel, which has pedestrian crossings on both sides, connects the mainland to Flevoland, the world's largest artificial island. Engineers could have built something that only met travelers' needs halfway, but instead they found a solution that worked for everyone.

Veluwemeer Aqueduct, Harderwijk, Netherlands: Veluwemeer Aqueduct is a 25-metre long, 19 meter wide, navigable aqueduct located over Veluwemeer lake in Harderwijk, Netherlands. It was opened in 2002 and bypasses the N302 road. Where the aqueduct crosses the N302, the depth of water is three metres, which allows vessels to pass over the road safely, so long as their draft is less. There are also pedestrian crossings on both sides of the waterway. Wikipedia

Check out this clip of the Veluwemeer Aqueduct, in Harderwijk, Netherlands. The 82-foot-long (32-meter), 10-foot-deep (3-meter) water bridge allows small watercraft to pass over the four-lane N302 motorway below. Both the aqueduct and the roadway have pedestrian crossings.

Veluwemeer bridge. 😍 Opened in 2005, the Aqueduct Veluwemeer in Harderwijk, Netherlands is the world’s shortest underwater bridge. Driving down the N302 highway near the Dutch city of Harderwijk, your car will pass under an orange bridge, which appears to be intended for cars or trains. But this is no ordinary bridge: instead of containing a paved road or train tracks, the passageway actually holds a 10-foot-deep canal that allows boats to cross over the highway. While people normally think of bridges as roads that cross over water, Aqueduct Veluwemeer is the exact inverse—it’s water that crosses over a road. As N302 traverses from Harderwijk on the mainland of the Netherlands to the island province of Flevoland, the highway briefly dips below Lake Veluwemeer to allow small ships and sailboats to cross over it. Brilliantly engineered to prevent water from spilling onto the road, Aqueduct Veluwemeer uses 22,000 cubic meters of concrete to support the weight of the water above the cars. The aqueduct also uses steel sheet piling to prevent sediment from bleeding onto the highway. While drawbridges, ferries, and tunnels are more common options for these situations, the engineers of the project decided against them when building the road from 1998 to 2002. Since the N302 is a major road that’s used by 28,000 cars per day, stopping the flow of traffic with a drawbridge or a ferry terminal would be a road congestion nightmare. And tunneling across the 2,000-foot gap wasn’t chosen because it would be far more expensive than the $61 million price tag of the aqueduct. In the end, the unique aqueduct design was a cost-effective way for the two-lane highway’s traffic to flow unencumbered while also allowing boat passengers to pass freely at all times of day.

“Architectural engineers have created some amazing structures in the world but the Veluwemeer Aqueduct in the Netherlands” This looks incredible, take a look :)
