Similar Bridge your kitchen sick delivery may experience some delays

this bridge in my hometown is notorious, either someone gets stuck under the bridge or mows down one of the posts on a semi-regular basis

Holy shit I have never seen a bridge that low. At that point that just feels like a road safety hazard. I'm pretty sure the spot where one of our walking trails goes under a traffic bridge has more clearance than this thing.

To add to the hazard, there’s a river about 20 feet to the right of this picture.

I didn't even have to read the rest of the comments - I knew it was Loveland just by this! I used to live in the crappy apartments up on E Broadway many years ago, and would drive under this bridge every day to get to work. Commercial vehicles get stuck here all the time! And it's never not funny, even when I was running late for work.

I spent 3 months basically living in the coffee shop around the corner while I was studying for the bar exam, I think I personally witnessed 3 accidents in that time.

I’ve seen a 7 foot bridge, it was over someone’s long driveway
