The ????? ???????? ?? ????????infamous "11foot 8 Bridge" in Durham, North Carolina has claimed many trucks over the years, but the fall of its tyranny appears to be on the horizon.
The rail crossing has an underpass which has a clearing of — you guessed it — 11 feet, 8 inches. While this is enough clearance for most vehicles, plenty of box trucks have had their roofs ripped off over the years, despite clear signage.
Jürgen Henn has documented crashes for over 11 years and regularly uploads them to his YouTube channel, where a library of the bridge's greatest "hits" awaits you. Henn revealed in a conversation with Strange Carolinas that the videos come from a camera he's set up outside his office window.
The bridge also has a loyal subreddit with over 55,000 subscribers.
But Henn's latest video documents the end of an era. The "old can opener" is in the process of being raised.
"So on Tuesday, they're going to be working on raising the structure eight inches..." Henn says in the video, before noting plans for the bridge to get a new paint job. "Hopefully, it'll be safer and a little more attractive for the neighborhood." The Durham Transportation Department also took to Twitter to confirm plans to raise the bridge.
