The bridge retracted
The Queen Emma Bridge in Willemstad. Curaçao is a pontoon bridge that connects the two sides of the city across the St. Anna Bay. The bridge opens to allow tankers and other ships to pass into the bay from the Caribbean Sea.

They don't raise it. There is a motor on one end of it and the other end pivots. The motorized end detaches from land and cruises across the water where it is secured on the other side. Ferries transport pedestrian while the bridge is open.

Thanks, Bram. It passed through the center of town and I shot it during dinner.
