I've just seen a bridge that instead of being lifted up is instead lowered
under the water onto the river bed. That would be cool to see modelled. The
hard part would be covering up the lowered bridge with fake water. I suppose
a cover (representing the water) could slide into the bank. The bridge could
then descend and the cover close again kinda like thunderbirds tracy Island :-).
