* [[Double-beam drawbridge]]
*[[Drawbridge]] ([[British English]] definition) – the bridge deck is hinged on one end
*[[Bascule bridge]] – a drawbridge hinged on pins with a counterweight to facilitate raising; road or rail
**Rolling bascule bridge – an unhinged drawbridge lifted by the rolling of a large gear segment along a horizontal [[rack and pinion|rack]]
*[[Folding bridge]] – a drawbridge with multiple sections that collapse together horizontally
*[[The Rolling Bridge|Curling bridge]] – a drawbridge with transverse divisions between multiple sections that curl vertically
*[[Merchant Square Footbridge|Fan Bridge]] – a drawbridge with longitudinal divisions between multiple bascule sections that rise to various angles of elevation, forming a fan arrangement.
*[[Vertical-lift bridge]] – the bridge deck is lifted by counterweighted cables mounted on towers; road or rail
*[[Table bridge]] – a lift bridge with the lifting mechanism mounted underneath it
*[[Retractable bridge]] (Thrust bridge) – the bridge deck is retracted to one side
*[[Submersible bridge]] – also called a ducking bridge, the bridge deck is lowered into the water
*[[Tilt bridge]] – the bridge deck, which is curved and pivoted at each end, is lifted at an angle
*[[Swing bridge]] – the bridge deck rotates around a fixed point, usually at the centre, but may resemble a gate in its operation; road or rail
*[[Transporter bridge]] – a structure high above carries a suspended, [[ferry]]-like structure
*[[Jet bridge]] – a passenger bridge to an airplane. One end is mobile with height, yaw, and tilt adjustments on the outboard end
* [[Guthrie rolling bridge]]
* [[Vlotbrug]], a design of retractable [[Pontoon bridge|floating bridge]] in the Netherlands
* [[Linkspan]]
* [[Ferry slip]]
* [[Lock (water navigation)|Locks]] are implicitly bridges as well allowing ship traffic to flow when open and at least foot traffic on top when closed
