What is a "drawbridge"?
A drawbridge is a type of movable bridge that can be raised or lowered to allow boats and ships to pass underneath. This design typically features a section of the bridge that rotates or lifts, creating a gap for water traffic. Drawbridges are often found in areas where there is a need to accommodate both road and water traffic, such as rivers or canals. When a drawbridge is raised, it allows vessels to navigate through, and once the water traffic has passed, the bridge can be lowered back into position for vehicles and pedestrians. This type of bridge is known for its flexibility and usefulness in managing different types of transportation.
