The 11'8" bridge in Durham, N.C., which has brought so much misery to unobservant truckers and so much joy to the internet, will be raised to 12'4" this week. Is nothing sacred in the age of Trump?
On October 26, I spent the afternoon at the 11foot8 bridge as the crew was working on preparing the structure for raising it next week. They cut off the rusty steel supports of the old walkway on the southern side of the trestle, and they removed the battered, bent crash beam that was the canopener's "teeth" for taking bites out of many a hapless, overheight truck on Gregson St. I hope you all enjoy the video.
Here's a compilation featuring many of the best crashes:
