    Well just an update for those that care.... They put up a temporary bridge so most traffic is able to pass over again. Did not see any weight limit sign when we used it the other day in the car. Government agencies are not sure when they will have money in the budget to replace it permanent....

    That is assuming the trucker had insurance.

    I'm not even sure the insurance most trucks carry is enough to cover a whole bridge.

    I'm sure Atkinson (the states "emergency contractor" [no bid]) used whatever there was +++++ for the temp repair. I got a notice from the state on that, I think there are load restrictions- like "no trucks" if I remember right.
