Hi moving bridges has one type bascule bridge with the bascule sinking into a basement, but just like older bridges its based on 2 parts, only older bridges are not closed flat. The surface is triangle shaped just like the famous Amsterdam bridge crossing the river Amstel an called the skinny bridge. They had to be build like that, just to release the pressure downwards a flat construction would not carry the restrained weight. With the bascule positioned on top of the bridge. Should not the surface made or be drawn in 2 piece’s. With a lateigate on both sides ?

Do you mean split the way in half to apply incline tags?

Hi, Have a look at Tower Bridge, London, that's drawn with two leaves, description=southern leave and description=northern leave. This link to the bridge:- https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/51.50578/-0.07377&layers=N If the triangle shape of the two leaves is to be indicated that can be done by sectioning the bridge highway and tagging each section as incline=up (to the centre point).

Hi I did not look that far, just the Wiki, so its not complete. Ill settle for your hint. There are a lot of those type of bridges, only Tower bridge is an impressive one. The Skinny Bridge is an skinny excample.
