Can I build raise-able bridge?

Like the DF ones.
If yes, how?
If not, are going to develop them in any future patch?
Thank you!!

You can use pure beefy muscle.

You can make a 'raisable bridge' in a way. It's actually a LOWERING bridge but still good. Use mechanical wall (tinker benches will invent these after a year or two...or three). When power is provided to a mechanical wall, it goes from a floor to being a wall (raising). Normally it is just a floor you walk across. You can put in a power source (windmill, steam engine, etc) and use axles to route power to it, and a lever along the way to disengage/engage it). Enjoy and good luck!

Thank you for the answers :)

If you need to bridge a gap, you can use hatches across it.

Their advantage over a mechanical wall --apart from the fact that they require half the power (just 10 units)-- is that they don't need a floor to be placed on.
