A bridge for water over water?

The Roebling aqueduct was built to allow a canal and the barges plus mules that pulled them to cross over the Delaware River. It doesn’t have the typical soaring towers and sweeping overhead cables but it is the oldest suspension bridge in the country. It’s a vehicle bridge now but still pretty amazing design and structure. Roebling is responsible for the Brooklyn bridge design too.
