Wow. There is very small margin for overflowing here...

Don't worry the Dutch know what they're doing when it comes to water.

There's probably an overflow spillway for the whole pond out of frame.

Correct. That bridge is meant to flex on water control. This is near a place that is susceptible to river floods.
