Drawbridges that use pulleys translate the usually-downward force (on a rope or chain) into a lateral force that lifts the bridge in an arc, upward and inward simultaneously.
In roadway and train bridges, there is usually no pulley, just a counterweight that acts through a lever (a fixed support).
Yes it does.
A drawbridge primarily utilizes two types of simple machines: the lever and the pulley. The drawbridge itself acts as a lever, with the pivot point at the base allowing it to raise and lower. Additionally, pulleys are often used to help lift the bridge more easily by distributing the weight and reducing the amount of force needed to move it. Together, these machines enable the drawbridge to operate efficiently.
There are many examples of a pulley system such as a drawbridge in a castle or a set of rock climbing gear
