Having mentioned one in Auckland, here is a scene of such a bridge over the Oder River in Stettin, Germany, circa 1900, which has been raised to let a paddle steamer through. This was known as the Bahnhofsbrücke as it was at a right angle to the railway station between what was then Uferstrasse and Wasserstrasse. It didn't survive WW2 and was not rebuilt. See the earlier posts on Stettin.
