Is it just me or does this weight to length limit seem incredibly low? That articulated bus empty likely weighs 20 tons. An artic bus plus a few cars is already well over the 26 ton limit. I'm sure this bridge has also seen a fair share of truck abuse as the abysmal weight limit combined with the likelihood that truckers only see the weight limit once they're at the bridge with no way to turn around and no easy bypass route so they say screw this and drive their >26 ton rig right over it.
