Welp, I ended up searching for it so here is a link. https://interestingengineering.com/culture/the-netherlands-unique-water-bridge

I thought it could have something to do with the levels of water but apparently it was cheaper than a bridge.

I'd say it's a tunnel. Bridges are built up, which is incompatible with the water flowing across.

It's a bridge for boats.
