I've read that the bridge was previously struck by a truck before this whole debacle. It will be interesting to see how this washes out especially if it was previously hit. Since the driver was hauling an oversize load he had to receive permits from the state, which would indicate the route he could take. So the state would have some complicity if the load was known to be 15' 9" as the news is saying. The lowest point on the bridge was 14' 6" but not posted on the bridge. Someone must have got their gazintas mixed up when issuing the permit.
