From the Wikipedia article
A roving bridge, changeline bridge, turnover bridge, or snake bridge is a bridge over a canal or navigable river constructed to allow a horse towing a boat to cross the waterway when the towpath changed sides. This often occurred because of the presence of buildings or riparian water rights, where a landowner needed his cattle to be able to access the water without getting in the way of passing boats and horses.
