[@christopherrowe7860]

The Norfolk Southern-Gregson Street Overpass has been given the nickname the "Can Opener" for that reason, its a real thing and yes so many trucks attempt it every year. The effect happens from the steel plate that was placed to sheild the railroad bridge from potential damage from all the trucks. Much of it is on the truckers for sure, but there really is a lack of alternative paths for truckers, especially when given that the road is a one way.

It's high enough for a lot of the trucks, that one at the end was just an outlier. There are still some Budget/Penske trucks that get some metal shavings off of the roof but leaving the roof intact, and a couple of them do still get their cans opened, but raising the bridge to 12'4" did make a significant improvement to the bridge problem.

The bridge being raised had nothing to do with the crashes. The company that owns the bridge just wanted to level out the train track so that their trains could go faster. They don't actually care about solving the crash problem at all, because there is no profit in it. The city can't lower the road either, because there is a sewer line below it.

Most semis are 13'6". Just know how tall you are, ez.

It sucks, but you gotta just sit there blocking traffic with your 4-ways on and call the cops to help back you up. It's easy to prevent by planning your route and only a little annoying if you find yourself in that situation. All you have to do is not hit the bridge.

Any thoughts on this issue? How can it be that there isn't some kind of standard or regulation but bridge builders and/or truck builders can follow so that this doesn't happen. Obviously there is already some stupidity at play with the drivers ignoring the sign which tells the height...

[@salty_3k506]

​@@AlecAndersonZxi think bridges used to be lower than today. and now they don't wanna raise it because of so few accidents and there are probably pipes under the bridge and raising the rails seems like a lot of work but all in all, it's just my guess that the trucks are cheaper for the city than changing the bridge.

"The Norfolk Southern-Gregson Street Overpass (commonly known as the 11-foot-8 Bridge or 11-foot-8+8 Bridge post-raising and nicknamed The Can Opener or The Gregson Street Guillotine) is a railroad bridge in Durham, North Carolina, United States, which was designed in the 1920s and built in 1940. The 81-year-old bridge allows passenger and freight trains to cross over South Gregson Street in downtown Durham. The bridge was built with a clearance for vehicles of 11 feet 8 inches (3.56 m). This was a standard height at the time it opened. The standard clearance, since 1973, has a minimum height of 14 feet (4.27 m), which is 2 feet 4 inches (0.71 m) higher than the bridge as built."
