Steel structure of bridge will help with design of the rotating mechanism.

Might change the overall appearance of the bridge.

Structure of the bridge provides good support for the moving mechanism.

bridge diagram 3.bmp

Will need to add structure to support rotating mechanism.

Steel cables moving mechanism will have to be worked out in order for it to work.

Moving mechanism can easily be supported by steel cables holding the bridge.

bridge diagram 2.bmp

Will need to add structure to support rotating mechanism.

Structure and moving mechanism need to be worked out, not the best solution.

Structure and moving mechanism can be easily integrated.
