While discussing this bridge on Facebook we began speculating on how they could make it safer. Someone suggested that they should put a warning line across the road, with something non rigid like chains hanging down and a sign that says if you hit these chains you will hit the bridge.

Instead they have installed a huge I-beam in front of the bridge. That's what those trucks are actually hitting, not the bridge itself. It's kinda the opposite approach, it's daring trucks to run into it.

Doesn't the I-beam protect the bridge itself, though? The chains would only if they were heeded.

That's true, though I'm not suggesting they remove the beam. But really, if you hit the chains would you still try the bridge?

A couple of those dudes probably would.
