As Rob posted earlier, the infamous “can opener” bridge in Durham, NC is undergoing an upgrade to turn it from an 11-foot-8 bridge into a 12-foot-4 bridge. This means it will no longer rip the tops of trucks driven by people who didn’t heed the warnings.
The video above was posted yesterday on the 11foot8 YouTube channel. It shows an incident in September when a Ryder truck experienced the full wrath of the bellicose bridge. It’s almost as if the bridge knows it is about to be defanged and wanted a last hurrah.
Below, another video from September, when a rental truck unsuccessfully tries to “sneak up” on the bridge from a side street.
