Raised Bridge Claims Its First Victim



Well, that didn't take long. The notorious 11 foot 8 bridge in Durham, North Carolina, was raised to a new height of 12 feet 4 inches. We thought that might be the end of the website 11 foot 8, which documented the many trucks whose tops were sheared off by the bridge after the driver underestimated their truck's height, or else was not paying attention. But Jürgen Henn still has his webcam trained on the Gregson Street trestle, and on Tuesday it caught the first incident since the bridge was raised. A rental truck scraped against the bridge, and small pieces fell off. We don't know the extent of the damage, since the truck didn't stop.
