Any Rwy/Txwy Bridge Over Water?

Lots of airports (ATL, ORD, the old DEN, and the proposed taxiway to the proposed new IND runway come to mind) have bridges where a runway/taxiway go over a road. Do any runways/taxiways have bridges that go over a body of water such as a creek, river, or cove?
Note that I'm not talking about reclaimed land, such as at HKG or KIX.

Doesn't BOS have a runway that juts out and is either surrounded by or over the water?

In GND (Grenada) the the sole runway cross a bit of water, on side being the ocean and the other side a lagoon with water from the ocean. Doesn't look very much like a bridge but essentially it is, as the water goes right underneath the rumway. Check it out in the pic.

I believe MCO has a taxiway that has a bridge over some sort of stream or drainage ditch.

The runway at LCY is surrounded by water on three sides, I believe part of the apron is constructed over an old dock, i think it was just bridged over but its a long while since I read about it.

Actually, very soon, there will be a bridge connecting the two separate parallel runways at KIX. The two runways are built on separate islands, with a narrow body of water in between.

Most people didn't pick up on that. But there is certainly one airport where a taxiway crosses a canal, and that is the taxiway towards 18R-36L in AMS:

It also has a drainage channel that runs under Rw09-27 into which one of Airlinks SF340 fell a few years ago.

That taxiway bridge in AMS looks pretty neat. I guess in this case deployment of the emergency slides while the plane is sitting on the bridge is ok. Those sections directly to the left and right provides more than enough room for the slides and passengers.

The old HKG runway was built over the water. The new HKG and Kobe airport are essentially on man-made islands.

Well this is Barra an island off the west coast of Scotland.

The runway is covered in water twice a day when the tide comes in!!

Schedules revolve around the time of low tide.

Actually FNC is not over water. It's reclaimed land.

Isn't 50% of present day Holland reclaimed land?  Confused
