` What a feat! Six years, 500 million euros, 918 meters long.......
Now this is engineering! This is a channel-bridge over the River Elbe and
joins the former East and West Germany, as part of the unification project. It
is located in the city of Magdeburg, near Berlin. The photo was taken on the
day of inauguration. To those who appreciate engineering projects, here's a
puzzle for you armchair engineers and physicists. Did that bridge have tobe 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.

` The bridge has a unique wave-form made up of seven undulating
curved steel ³ribs´ that alternately rise over and under its deck. The
curved ³ribs´ form alcoves that function as shelters with seats within
and also to accommodate large number of people during public
events.Slats of yellow balau wood, an all-weather timber found in
South-East Asia, are used in the decking. Look out for carvings on
the slats marking the height you are at on various points along the
bridge.During the day, one can enjoy the habour views while
standing on the 12-storey high bridge. Beyond the bridge, it
provides one with a soothing mood while meandering through the
forest walk and the earth trails. At night, the wave-forms will be litwith lights from 7pm to 2am daily, giving the bridge an illuminative
glow, offering beautiful night scenic view of the city.
