What is a "bascule bridge"?
A bascule bridge is a type of movable bridge with a section that can be raised or lowered to allow boats and ships to pass underneath. It usually has a weight system that helps lift the movable part of the bridge when needed. When lowered, the bridge forms a solid connection for vehicles and pedestrians to cross. This type of bridge is often found in places with heavy boat traffic, such as near harbors or along rivers, where a fixed bridge would block navigation.
Example
