Where on Cuyahoga Could We Do This?

This IS interesting.
Perhaps some new realignment of the Tow Path Trail is in order here.

From Stuff To Think About:

Water Bridge

Check out this bridge.



It took 6 years and 500 million euros to build! At 918 meters long, this is the largest water bridge. It was built over the Elbe River in Magdeburg, Germany.

I found a neat trivia question about the bridge: Did that bridge have to be designed to withstand the additional weight of ship and barge traffic, or just the weight of the water?

Answer:
It only needs to be designed to withstand the weight of the water! Why? A ship always displaces an amount of water that weighs the same as the ship, regardless of how heavily a ship may be loaded. Neat, huh?
