The Falkirk Wheel in Scotland is a very different sort of bridge. It lifts or lowers boats from a low canal to one at a higher elevation. There is a bridge/aquaduct/canal section over land so it qualifies.

Raise the water not the bridge...😁

There is a fascinating video of the Falkirk Wheel on youtube.
