Cables could go under roadbed

Cables could retract into the main cable

Many adjustments need to support bridge after it opens

Bridge might not stay up if road bed moves

Cables would have to detach from main cable upon opening road bed

Road bed would have to be put on tracks

Cables pulled up to make opening big enough for object to pass through

 

Could be combined with truss to support half of stationary bridge

 

One side of the cables could easily retract into the main pillar

 

Cables collapse and bridge opens

Could be combined with other support to work
