  • On May 6th, a recycling truck challenged the 11foot8 bridge to a sort-of jousting duel. In this clash of the steel giants the old canopener got a bit rattled but I don't know that the truck escaped completely unscathed. This was crash #182 since 2008.

    The bridge is OK. A crew inspected it an hour after the incident and trains have been crossing it since.

      The bridge is not okay. The bridge is traumatized. The bridge needs counseling. Serious counseling. I mean did you see that thing flinch? I don't think it's supposed to do that. I've never seen a bridge Flinch before. That's not normal man. That bridge is mentally scarred for life.

      The rest of the truck is short enough, it was the arms that hit the I-Beam and the bridge. That could be why the detector didn't go off.

    This brings a tear to my eye. No matter how clearly they mark the bridge, someone, at some point, is going to go "Nah I'd win". As long as the bridge still stands, the trucks will never stop coming.

    What this cross section needs are padded roll bars that hang off of the stop lights, and are low enough to be hit by any vehicles large enough to hit the bridge, alerting the operators of these vehicles that they are about to make a massive no-no.
    We use these roll bars for trucker trainees at the company I work for as a low-clearance simulator. Using them here would probably fix this issue.

      The 'mighty' has actually risen, about 8 inches from where it used to be. That's why these aren't as satisfying anymore. Give me a good old-fashioned, trying-to-run-the-red-light, wheelie-popping, roof-peeling, cold-stopping crash over any of these new ones.

    They should add this bridge to the American Truck Simulator videogame series if they ever add the East Coast (probably in a sequel so they can add true can opening physics)
