List of bascule bridges

A list of bascule bridges by country: Note that in Dutch basculebrug only refers to bascule bridges that have their counterweight rigidly connected to the bridge deck.

If there is a hinged connection, it's referred to as ophaalbrug (literally "drawbridge").

This list lists both, and is incomplete as there are many such bridges in the Netherlands.
