Håverud Aqueduct is regarded as one of the greatest engineering achievements of its day.
The Aqueduct in Håverud Sweden was planned in 1863 but due to lack off ideas, it wasn't finished until 1868.
It was made in Stockholm and transported in parts to Håverud, where it was put together with 33 000 rivets. It is 32,5m(106'8'') long, 4,05m(13'3'') wide and 1,8m(5'11'') deep.
The whole system has a total of 4 sluice gates, operated manually.
