Moving a piece of roadSourced
Two arms lift the roadway out of a boat’s way
Leeuwarden’s Slauerhoffbrug in the Netherlands uses two arms to swing a fifteen-metre-square road section out of position. Completed in 2000, the movable bridge clears a route for water traffic.
The road itself moves aside for another traveller.
