Navigable aqueducts
(sometimes called water bridges) are bridge structures that carry
navigable waterway canals over other rivers, valleys, railways or roads.
They are primarily distinguished by their size, carrying a larger
cross-section of water than most water-supply aqueducts.
Although Roman aqueducts were sometimes used for transport, aqueducts
were not generally used until the 17th century when the problems of
summit level canals had been solved and modern canal systems started to
appear.
