I drew it realy fast and not in detail, but o get what you are saying. I intended to place 2 poles bound with a traverse on top and for stability a cable fixated from the bottom to the to top or maybe 2 diagonal legs for each pole. For a minimum effort to lover and rise the bridge i would use a...
So how would you do it? With no machinery to place the poles into the water? Also to prevent the giant logs that the river carries and the tides to destroy/flood the pier?
