One tough overpass

Someplace it's explained that they were debating in one office how frequently trucks ran into the bridge, so they set up a camera in their window. That's why they seem to have been there for all the incidents. I think the frequency is 2 to 4 a month.

The road may not have been lowered since there may be other places at the side -- other streets coming in. (just speculating). Or the major inconvenience was to the RR who would have to suspend service and inspect the bridge.

Yeah, there would be several reasons not to lower the street, building supporting walls, drainage, or as you say, other streets. One vehicle seemed to hit the bridge, back up and turn to the left indicating that there is an escape route to avoid all this. Perhaps they could add one of those cantilevered flapping signs like they have in parking garages. "If you hit this, you'd better turn off while you still can..." Eek
