    I'd check it out first, but I've done worse in KY. With a loaded dumptruck.

    Judging by how the topside looks, I wouldn't want to know what the underside looked like.

    Hit it fast, so you make it most of the way across before it fails. Don't forget the Dixie horn sound effects.

    Seeing the tractors on the other side with no indication of any other route in, absolutely. But it's usually easier to ask than make a mistake like destroying a bridge.

    If they do it with their trucks, no reason why you can't do it too.

    The planks running across the boards spanning the length of the bridge aid in weight distribution.
