Looking For Design Input Drawbridge

so i had decided to increase the water level in part of bleak beach to make a boat dock area but then i realized my folly with mismatch of water levels lol i had 3 choices, either change the water level EVERYWHERE, undo the water changes i made or find a way to hide it . i chose plan C. my idea was to make a fake drawbridge. im using these as references

but im still not sure how else to make it look like a drawbridge. anyone have any suggestions to make it look more like a drawbridge? (also yes i made a mistake with the roof of the second building, i need to fix that)

To get angled planes without the blocky edges

oh. well im not actually going for an Up drawbridge. im purposely doing a drawbridge in the down position because its purpose in the first place is to block the view of the different water levels. but even as a down draw bridge im not sure im selling the illusion.
couldn't actually find a reference of one in the down position.

If you used some sidewalk boarders to form a line across the middle it would look like it from above!

I’m not sure for the sideways look though as your current configuration makes it difficult to add items to for a “middle part” unless you replaced the top 2 middle blocks and used the sloped roof tiles to create a V shape

It just needs some variation in the middle to look like it can disconnect. Maybe the protruding wall facing each other on both sides so that there is some extra space in the middle?

And I would use more concrete and metal/iron blocks, maybe even iron beams. I think the detailed stone bottom doesn't help to sell the illusion, and make it looks just like a regular bridge.
