Leppa Akwadukt, Navigable aqueduct in Boarnsterhim, Netherlands
The Leppa Akwadukt spans 726 meters across the river Boorne near Akkrum, featuring two lanes in each direction for vehicular traffic on the A32 highway.
Construction of the aqueduct took place between 1993 and 1996, with Minister of Transport Annemarie Jorritsma leading the official inauguration in May 1997.
The structure demonstrates Dutch engineering expertise in water management, connecting regional waterways while maintaining essential road infrastructure between Heerenveen and Leeuwarden.
The aqueduct maintains a minimum clearance height of 4.60 meters for vehicles and includes emergency lanes alongside parallel roads called Bokkumer Omwei for slower traffic.
The structure employs synthetic film technology to create barriers against groundwater, enabling precise control of water levels within the surrounding polder landscape.
