Movable Bridge Mod
This mod adds support for all kinds of functional movable bridges (drawbridges, bascule bridges, lift bridges, folding bridges etc.) for trains, cars and pedestrians.
The bridges will open up whenever a ship (passenger ship, cargo ship, ferry or fishing boat) is close to them, with a realistic animation. With road anarchy, bridges can also be placed over canals.
There are no bridges included with this mod. They can be subscribed separately from the Steam Workshop.

Common Questions
Why are my bridges not opening?
Make sure that both the Movable Bridge mod and Custom Animation Loader are subscribed and enabled in content manager!
Will my save be lost if this mod stops working?
No. Bridge assets are backwards compatible with the vanilla game. Of course they will no longer open up and cars/trains/ship won’t stop, but your city will continue working!
How can I place a ferry path through the bridge/How can I place the bridge on top of a ferry path?
Subscribe and enable Fine Road Anarchy and press CTRL+A before placing the path/bridge. That will disable clipping for all networks. Press CTRL+A again to disable anarchy mode.
How can I see the ferry and ship paths while placing the bridge?
Enable the transport info view.
