These are called low-water bridges, at least in my area, and we have quite a lot of them. Because they flow across the road by design, I would not choose to ford a few feet of water on one of these unless it was somehow not flowing. But I could definitely be forced. Either way, I agree with your overall point--sometime, I may need to drive my truck into several feet of water for a non-recreational purpose. I'd actually feel a lot better in a heavy truck like that. My rear end can easily be pushed around.
