Check out the photo. That one got serious damage.
In fairness, it was a garbage truck that was being towed.
Jaysus !
Surprised it remained standing.
That is significant main structure damage.
Truss bridges not known for redundant load paths, either . . .
Anyone know what the posted clearance was on that bridge? From the pix, it looks like about 13.5-14 feet (eyeball guesstimate!)

That's impressive given how cold it's been for the past month.
