Feels like a Escher lol
Engineering: *exists
The Netherlands: *This is some serious gourmet shit*
Wow, a boat bridge! Thatâs beautiful and amazing.
Iâll hate to see it flood over when the ice caps melt more.
Hopefully it never springs a leak.
Absolutely love Dutch engineering. Itâs always so cool to see their solutions to these types of problems.
Instead of bridge over water, they water over bridge.
Meanwhile in Chicago we have a zillion draw bridges that have to open and stop traffic whenever a sail boat wants to pass.
(Actually they only open them on specific days each month and the boats are trapped on one side or the other until then)
Awwww⊠So cute. One day if it eats all itâs sail boats it might grow as big as the Chesapeake Bay bridge.
Water you doing, step-boat?
The entire country is below sea level. Thatâs why theyâre so tall.
Anybody know how deep it is?
Netherlands: Fuck it
_makes actual water bridge_
thats very cool
And it even has a separated bike lane. Chefs kiss. Other countries take note: this is how you infrastructure.
There one like this in Disney world, too

Engineering feats like this are so cool to look at.
Iâve been over this aquaduct in a boat. In a small boat, itâs not a sensational as youâd think. You canât see over the edge of the waterway to the highway below so itâs like you are just in a narrow canal. Maybe if theyâd made the bottom of the canal transparent.
Trippy looking
I feel like if that was in the states youâd have a bunch of dumbasses going back and forth trying to spill as much water over as possible
Thatâs amazing!
From an engineering standpoint, whatâs the benefit of this over a normal bridge? Or is it just an aesthetic thing? I do admit it looks pretty cool lol
Pretty cool until you realize its just a shorter-than-your-average tunnel
I donât understand the benefit? When it rains heavily wouldnât it flood in there
This seems incredibly inefficient. Like aside from how objectively aesthetic it is can anyone explain to me if this is was actually a cost effective idea as opposed to going over?
Is this harderwijk / knardijk? because I know one of these is there.
The netherlands are so cool, love the clean way they engineered this
This took me way too long to process
Epic
where magma cube??
Waitttt this is soooooo cool
Hereâs a couple of questions:
When there is a big boat on the bridge, is the weight on the bridge or spread out over all the water?
Also, is the load on the bridge less or more with a boat on, because some of the water is displaced?
Pleasing to the imagination and eye.
Harderwijk again? Recently saw a post that had the same bridge but a different angle lol. I recognize it from the yellow walls and the weird bike lane. Still come close to it every day!
Itâs like a bridge under troubled water
Me wondering where tf the road went
This just makes me want to move there more
I literally drove there yesterday lol
Such a lovely place. My sis lives in there and i wanna go there and see her. I must get rid of shitty country. It sucks.
Similar crossing at the Contemporary in Disney World.
