I don't get it. Is it a road bridge across the lake with an aquaduct above it? But then is the road above or below water level?
This is the Netherlands, where swaths of the land is below sea level. So, naturally, this is a road below the water's surface with an aqueduct above it, enabling boaters to cross over the road. Or at least that's what I'm seeing here.
Got it, thanks!
It's a road on a man-made land bridge before and after this aqueduct. In this shot here, it's a bit hard to see, but the road is actually on a slight angle to make more room for the aqueduct. The walls around the road are only for this section, as out of frame the road is almost certainly on top of your bog standard land bridge.
