The vertical-lift bridge has a span similar to that of a fixed bridge, and is lifted by steel ropes running over large sheaves at the tops of its towers to the counterweights, which fall as the lift span rises and rise as it falls. If the bridge is operated by machinery on each tower, it is known as a tower drive. If it is driven by machinery located on the lift span, it is known as a span drive.  1, fiche 2, Anglais, - span%20drive

The Roosevelt Island Bridge is a tower drive vertical lift movable bridge... The structural steel lift span of this bridge is suspended at each corner from twelve wire ropes which are draped over a main counterweight sheave located atop the corresponding corner of a tower. The other ends of the ropes are connected to counterweights. There is one span counterweight at each tower. Raising and lowering the bridge is accomplished by rotating the main sheaves using tower drive systems. As the span is raised the two counterweights descend. The lift span is raised and lowered by two identical tower drives, one located in a machinery room atop each tower.  2, fiche 3, Anglais, - tower%20drive

Successeurs des anciens ponts transbordeurs que la lenteur de leur exploitation tend à faire disparaître, les ponts mobiles à travée levante ou basculante s'imposent pour le franchissement de rivières navigables dont les rives basses ne présentent pas une dénivellation permettant la construction d'un pont à tirant d'air suffisant sans que les viaducs d'accès ne grèvent exagérément le coût de l'ouvrage.  1, fiche 4, Français, - trav%C3%A9e%20levante
