Aqueduct Bridge, Navigable aqueduct in Washington, D.C., US.

The Aqueduct Bridge features a dual-level structure that enables boats to navigate through water channels while supporting vehicle traffic on its upper deck.

Completed in 1889, this engineering structure marked a significant advancement in transportation infrastructure, connecting waterways for commercial vessel passage in the capital region.

The bridge stands as a testament to late 19th-century American engineering capabilities, reflecting the period's focus on expanding maritime transportation networks.

The structure maintains water levels constant throughout its span, allowing vessels to cross without the need for locks or elevation changes.

This transportation marvel combines the functions of a traditional bridge and a water-carrying channel, enabling simultaneous land and water traffic flow.
