Going under a bridge

I have a bridge over shallow water (long wooden bridge) it looks like I should be able to go under it but my unit can't. Is there any way i can get a bridge that my units can go under?

Warcraft basically thinks of every point on the x/y plane as having only one Z where units can walk.

That said, you could get around this in a couple ways:

1. a trigger that detects when units enter a region on one side of the bridge, and warps them to the other

2. a trigger that replaces the bridge with a doodad with no pathing that uses the bridge's model, then when units have gotten far enough away, switches it back

The second way will not work if you might have a situation in which there's one unit on the bridge and one under it. The first will not actually show the units going under the bridge - they will just disappear and reappear elsewhere, unless you do some seriously complicated animation routines.
