    So the Nipigon River Bridge is now open on a limited basis but supposedly bridge engineers have not yet figured out why the bridge was spontaneously dismantling itself. That is not confidence-inspiring if you are driving over the Nipigon River Bridge with a loaded Super-B. Apparently the bridge engineers are guessing that the weight limit for the wonky bridge is now about 63,500 kg's but personnel on-site may let you give it a try, at their discretion, if you are over 63,500 kg's. Watch out below!

    On January 4th we crossed with 8 loads where we grossing out at 146,500 lbs.

    Oddly enough, we were hauling 42 foot long concrete bridge beams for a new overpass at Vaungh, ON. Used tandem tractors, 8 wheel jeeps and tridem highboys.
