I did this exact thing on my layout.  Some items to guard against: Tracks should be straigt across the gap the hinge spans, otherwise the rails on the lift bridge hit the roadbed. The lift out needs to be not warped (mine currently is twisted, i used a scrap piece of 1/2" AC plywood).  I am working on redesigning it to better hold its shape. If you have the opportunity, go to a relatively large model train show, and see how the different modular model train clubs have solved lift brige issue.
