The complex includes at least one bridge crossing and waterway, or preferably a plurality of bridges crossing the waterway, and wherein one or more of the bridges is a retractable bridge, having retracting devices connected with the bridge, and manual control devices connected with the retracting devices for operating the retracting devices. The complex includes at least one barge floating in the waterway, wherein the barges include propulsion ways of propelling the barges along the waterway, and the propulsion ways include for example an electrically driven, or a compressed air driven, or possibly an internal combustion driven motor. The barges are primarily arranged to carry passengers along the waterway. The barges will preferably have flotation level control devices, having flotation level sensing devices connected with leveling water tanks, which are operative for floating the barge at a preset flotation level.
