Reinforcement In Case Of A Bridge Strike

Shot taken for SSC 22/02/2024 --Reinforced or Reinforcement .
Take one pretty low railway bridge on fairly busy road and an incline on a bend on the other side and there is a recipe for taller vehicles to come a cropper under the bridge if they don't hit the bridge first anyway . It has happened a number of times and I have seen it a couple of times , think one was a ready mix concrete truck !
So as a precaution now the bridge is now reinforced with this yellow structure - as well as being a bright yellow to raise awareness this reinforcement ( and the one on the other side of the bridge ) , it serves as a reinforcement in that if a tall vehicle hits it it will absorb much of the force and if the vehicle hits it with force the shock load does not hit the bridge span but is directed into the major bridge side supports which is more capable of absorbing the shock load.
Well that is my SSC reinforced shot and hope it fits the bill .
Now this bridge has been out there in many frosts recently so - Yes , it is The Ice Bridge !!
