Crane truck almost defeats the 11foot8+8 bridge

On March 31, at crane truck hit the Gregson St Canopener and knocked it around pretty good. The hinge of the crane got stuck between the crash beam and the bridge, and they had to completely flatten the tires of the truck to get it out. The bridge also had to be inspected, so the next train could cross it. It took over an hour to get the truck out, but at least one lane was still open, and traffic is not yet back up to pre-pandemic levels. Footage of the extraction is posted on our Patreon site.
