Maybe it's already suggested, but -
It would be nice if raising bridges will rise at its full hight like -
 _______[]. 
                  l
                  l
                  l
                  [].
and retracting bridges will retracts at it's full length like -
 _______[].   []_______. (need to dig out space witch equal bridges space in direction of retraction)

If free space is not enough bridge will not close.

+1 And raising bridges should create floor tiles when raised and wall tiles depending on their length.

Moving fortress pieces is planned, maybe this will be part of that.

No, it's not.

Neowulf is correct. Toady goes into a little more detail in one of his talks.

Quote from: dev notes
Improved Mechanics

    * Better traps
          o Stone traps should require the stone be placed above the tile that is targeted
          o Stones should be able to roll (perhaps if they are started from or land on a ramp tile)
         o Weapon traps should be multi-tile and require a spring or other potential energy source -- automatic resetting should require some explicit establishment of a feasible mechanism
    * Large pipe sections -- walk on them or crawl inside them, allow passage for fluids
    * Moving fortress sections (lifts, crushing traps, etc.)
    * Waterproof axles through some mechanism
    * Rock grinders? Fans? We'll do some other machines around this time -- whichever feasible ones are the most entertaining for dwarves and treasure hunters
source

Considering that Toady wants multi-tile weapon traps, I believe Neowulf's extrapolation is plausible. Especially since Toady has talked about multi-tile creatures and such.

I support this request and wait in eager anticipation for the buggy, !!Fun!! results.

It'd make a wonderful side project to be released at the same time as improved sieges.

I was just about to make this suggestion but found that you've already made it. For some reason this abnormality in bridge dimensions frustrates me to no end.
