Found an original replacement open bridges + video Bashny.Net

The perfect bridge that allows vehicles to travel at low altitude over water, and ships freely sail under them. The construction of highest bridges is very expensive, and the movable structure is inconvenient to use. One Dutch engineering firm has proposed floating structure, which does not involve the bridge itself. Instead, it lowers the water level to 8 meters to make way shipping.

The inclined gateway, developed by Dutch engineers Royal Haskoning DHV, one of the world's largest engineering companies. Bending down, the gateway temporarily lowers the water level in one of their channels, allowing the yacht with tall mast to pass under a low bridge. Design powered energy built-in solar panels.

The best way to understand the principle of the inclined sluice – watch the video below.



Since the Civil Engineering Manager of infrastructure projects, Royal Haskoning DHV Carl Poldervaart, the idea is to build something similar appeared after observing cars and boats awaiting their turn for passage through the drawbridge. A sloping gateway will be installed under the existing bridge Haringvliet Bridge in the Netherlands that will provide an 8-foot clearance for passing ships.

About the most unusual bridges we were told in one of our past editions of the show "that Is interesting".
