bridge</b>, also known as a <b>ferry bridge</b> or <b>aerial transfer bridge</b>, is a type of <a href="/wiki/Movable_bridge" class="mw-redirect" title="Movable bridge">movable bridge</a> that carries a segment of roadway across a river. The <a href="/wiki/Aerial_tramway" title="Aerial tramway">gondola</a> is slung from a tall span by <a href="/wiki/Wire" title="Wire">wires</a> or a metal frame. The design has been used to cross navigable <a href="/wiki/River" title="River">rivers</a> or other bodies of water, where there is a requirement for ship traffic to be able to pass. This has been a rare type of bridge, with fewer than two dozen built.
