What's the ideal height of a bridge?

It occurs between 6:45 and 7:45 in Stairway to Heaven.

You can't predict such a thing. Just keep rebuilding it 6 inches higher until trucks stop hitting it

Three inches shorter than the height of a standard rental truck, to generate the maximum number of funny videos.

Just high enough that the supports reach the ground.

It's not the height of the bridge that counts.  It's what you do with it. 

That and a thick meaty width pleases the ladies more than height.

I think we can all agree on something: audiences deserve an elevated bandshell attached to the side of the bridge abutment, for an accompaniment of live foley sound effects artists and room for the live camera operators with their equipment.

Trick question--there isn't one. Bridges are inherently unsafe and should never be built. They should all be tunnels instead.

Jackson County Route 2/18 is a small loop along WV 68 just north of Ravenswood, W. Va. Coming in at 0.32 miles (0.51 km), it is 0.9 miles longer than simply taking WV 68, and it is less improved, with just one lane of concrete. What can WVDOH do to make traffic take this route instead of WV 68?
