@ Pencil42 No doubt, that'd be a big whoops with a wide truck!
@ Eaglerail - that bridge was demolished, not sure why. Probably gov't make-work to spend up $$ so as not to lose next year's highway budget. Sad, really, but it happens all the time.
~EDIT~ found this on the web along with that same pic:
Albion has slowly been demolishing all of their old bridges. Like the rest of the country, their activities have not focused on maintenance to extend the life of bridges, but instead consists of doing nothing and then engaging in demolition and replacement. Such a strategy, in the long run costs more money and deprives Albion of a nice collection of attractive bridges. Albion once had a magnificent 1896 stone arch bridge, one of the longest in Michigan, but that has been gone for many years now. Sometime in 2006 this bridge was closed to traffic, obviously due to advanced structural deterioration. Albion is now working to get this bridge demolished and replaced with an ugly slab of concrete. Road salt damage and a lack of routine maintenance (cement patching, repair, etc) most likely contributed to the bridge turning into the badly damaged structure. The last posted weight limit prior to closure was 26-32-27. For the bridge to go from that fair weight limit to closure really makes one wonder if anyone was even looking at the bridge for the last few years, or if the closure was simply to make the situation look worse than it was. The bridge was demolished early Spring 2007.
