I think from a structural standpoint it is super interesting to watch the suspension structure flex and react. That bridge is amazingly flexible AND strong. May be the Hefty bag of small bridges.

We may hear more from this. The bridge has a maximum load rating of 20,000 lbs. That bus is closer to 20 Tons total weight. I would imagine charges may be forthcoming, and any potential damage that can be determined may result in significant fines against the company, and they could potentially be liable for repairs to the structure.
I wonder if the Jeep crossed after them?

Wow!
That bridge was sagging badly under the weight. In sure it had to be clearly marked. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

Bridge appears to be safe.......
Bridge inspection reports at bridgereports.com, last reported inspection July 2018. Beaver Bridge More stuff at bridgehunter.com https://bridgehunter.com/ar/carroll/beaver/

The original link is to a report discussing the closure and subsequent inspection. Apparently they determined that no damage had actually occurred. The implication is that (assuming the inspection was very thorough) the safety factor of the design is something like 4:1. I’m impressed by the visible contortion

This was two years ago eh
 I wonder what the timeline could be for the fix. From the report Structural appraisal: Basically intolerable requiring high priority of replacement [2] Deck geometry appraisal: Basically intolerable requiring high priority of replacement [2] Maybe if they just keep the 20 Ton buses from crossing

I’m going to suggest they simply erect overhead barriers at say, 9’ and no more tour busses.

Wow, when I was there in 08 the water was just bout touching the bridge. so I never saw any vehicles driving over it. A few of us walked on it part way but that was it. Good to see the old girl is still standing.
