Aqueduct Veluvemeer
In the east of the Netherlands is a very unusual structure. Aqueduct Veluvemeer connects two artificial lakes and is navigable. However, only for small vessels. His story and the principle quite interesting.
As it turned out, to build a road bridge over the channels between lakes, less convenient than to do the opposite. Therefore, with the advent of the aqueduct, go to the top of the court, and after a road tunnel passing day more than 30 thousand cars. However, periodically, tunnel heat a little water lakes, even though the regulation of the water level by means of dams. Note that the aqueduct separates the mainland of the Netherlands and the world's largest artificial island Flevoland. Veluvemeera width of 25 meters and a length - 19 meters. On the sides of the highway there are footpaths for those wishing to admire the scenery.
