This bridge is 11’ 8’’ and remains…undefeated!
I could watch this video over and over. It brings joy to my heart.
Does nobody ever come at it from the other side?
In my mind, it has an elaborate moustache and keeps saying, “The truck is too damn high!”
I doubt it’s any higher from the other direction 
Also, it appears to be a one-way street.
I like the hay truck driver who sees what happens to the hay truck in front of him and decides to just go through anyway.
Screw it, it’s just a bit of hay.
With so many victims, I’m wondering if the bridge is, in fact, maybe 11’4" and the sign is wrong. 
mmm
Shouldn’t they be putting up regular warning signs starting a couple of miles before? That is the best way to warn even the careless drivers.
I know it’s no higher, it’s just that all the trucks in the video were going the same direction. One way would explain it.
Looks like there’s a separate girder mounted bridge-high, but a bit before it, that takes the hits. I think that deserves most of the credit for the bridge’s unblemished record.
Do you really think that most drivers read the warning signs?
Most do. But that’s just one more than half. That leaves plenty that pay no attention, and probably have no idea how tall their truck is anyway.
Very entertaining! Bridge must have been designed by a MIT grad, eh?
Good point, bolding mine. A lot of those trucks in that really funny video are rentals.
One of the most effective warning signs I ever saw wasn’t the official “Do not cross when flooded” sign. It was the hand painted sign next to it that said Farmer with tractor and chain. $some insane amount of money, his phone number and directions how to get to his farm by foot.
Love the music.
There are low bridges in the Boston/Cambridge area. When I moved here I was warned to be alert to moving-in day; lots of students with rental trucks who don’t know their way around, yet.
I guess I’m the only one wondering why they didn’t build the bridge a little higher or the road a little lower?
Some of the most obvious questions are the best. Semi 's 13’6" . Question answered.
Nope, after that bridge, the semi is at most 11’ 8".
I worked for a time in Pennsylvania for an electronics retail company that had a box truck for deliveries. Came in one morning and said truck had a dent across the entire width of the box up front. Nothing so drastic as those peel-offs in the video, just a dent. I walked in and asked, “What happened to the truck?”
"You know that 9-ft 6-in underpass in Birdsboro? (About ten miles away)
“Yeah.”
“The driver didn’t”
I love how half of them keep going, without even slowing down.
“Screw it, I’ll tell the boss it was like this when I got in”
