This is a real thing in the Netherlands - Lemmy.zip

The dutch know a thing or two about water

If the bridge falls, how far does the flooding spread? Is the river going to be dammed by the gap?

Not critical, just curious how the engineers accounted for this.

You know what’s better? It’s not a river. It’s more like an artificial lake created by cutting off the North Sea.
The road might flood for a half km around the breach where it descends to the tunnel depth tho
