Agreed... No way this bridge is over 80'...May be even less.
I used to paint these bitches in my younger years.

Quick reference: That semi's trailer is probably 52' long. The tractor is probably about 18' long. That makes 70'. Can you stand that rig up twice on end and not exceed the top of the bridge deck?

What semi?
They said the box truck fell 70 feet then slid down to the creek. Probably the same guy judging the height though.

You're welcome, Sweets.
