Mathews Bridge Task Force

I've come up with a solution!  We can build bridges that have sections that can move out of the way, then it doesn't matter how tall the ship is!  Someone pay me.

We had those... the Acosta and Fuller Warren were both originally that way.  People complained about having to stop for boats (imagine stopping traffic today on I-95 for 20+ minutes for a boat to clear!) and FDOT got tired of maintaining the mechanisms and paying round-the-clock bridge tenders so all gone now  .  Main Street bridge is last one standing in Jax.  Bridge of Lions in St. Augustine still works that way too.  And the railroad bridges over the St. Johns and Ortega rivers.

I am unclear on your concept. Could you render an image using pen or pencil on paper of such a river crossing?
