it seems that some truck drivers didn't get the message the last couple of times bridges were destroyed, and think 100 year old 15 ton bridges, and smaller, can handle over 40 tons, because of magic wishes and prayers

the 1911 bridge won't be repaired soon, as inflation prevents anything from being replaced or even repaired,  for what it initially cost over 100 years ago when materials and labor were far less expensive. 

The county this is in has a 3.8 million annual budget for repairs for all roads, but replacing this bridge alone? Would exceed that, all by itself
