    That’s one of the reasons I found it so funny. I live a couple miles from the famous 11’8” bridge. The Town Twitter account posted it and I about fell out laughing...

    Obviously fake, since the bridge is no longer 11’ 8”

    They did raise that bridge. I think to 12’4”. There are about 5 more 11’8” or so within a couple miles of there.
    This one is 11’0” and is 1/4 mile from my house. I have personally seen 4 trucks wedged under it. All box trucks....
    Same train line though

    I’m pretty sure a container ship will get stuck under any of them....
