Not uncommon. Cities grew and the aqueducts just went director to their river, si they suck and paving them was a good excuse to get rid of the sanitation problems they had while expanding car infrastructure. Cities today know better and built aqueducts that didn’t dump everything to the river.
Did they really build a fucking street on top of the river? Why would you do this?
no, they built a canal later
I canal believe they did that
Pretty much, yes - the Stadsbuitengracht was a defensive moat originally, then they converted part of it into a motorway in the 70s.
