Bridge is an old bridge that was classified as deficient because of narrows lanes, low clearance etc. I'm sorry, but if 1 truck hitting part of the bridge can make it collapse, I would not feel safe driving on it. What if there was a 5 car accident and everyone hit some part of that bridge. It should be structurally strong enough to take a hit from something without collapsing.
An over-height load hit & broke a structural support. They are called "structural" for a reason...they're NOT there for decoration!
