Yikes, it looks like there was a painting project ongoing on that bridge, lucky nobody was up there.

Can't help but notice that girder's twisted all to sideways and there's rebar sticking out of the concrete and

THE BRIDGE IS STILL STANDING!

GOOD old bridge!

They're even letting cars drive under it.

The height of the truck with its load -- a water clarifying tank used in wastewater treatment -- measured at 14 feet, 9 inches, which is 9 inches more than the truck was permitted for. Additionally, state police said the driver violated the permit for not having flag cars and for being off route. I-93 was not on the truck's permitted route.

Fined $210.

That will fix the bridge.

Maybe the driver should drive the LA bomb squad truck. He'd fit right in.
