Strong bridge

You would think they could just drop the road by a foot, then most of those would fit.

 

If you visit the bridge's website, 11foot8.com, you'll learn that there's a 100-year-old main sewer just below the road surface under the bridge, so lowering the road would cost as much as raising the bridge.

 

If you look closely at the clips it's apparent that there's a very strong protection girder across the road before the bridge, and it is the girder not the bridge that is being whacked.

 

There are some interesting photos on 11foot8.com's French equivalent site, 2m40.com but unfortunately the text is all in European!
