When you leave the moat around your house dry, it's going to turn into a ramp

I come bearing bad news all. 11'8" is getting raised  https://twitter.com/jbphebus/status/1185298845409914880 The last hit was a backhoe that actually managed to get by the protective beam and hit the bridge proper, probably damaging it. iospace fucked around with this message at 23:02 on Oct 18, 2019 |

Does this mean the rails get a bump and now the trains can catch air?

It's gonna cost some major money to regrade the rail slopes on either side. Never thought that a state or business would come up with money to fix infrastructure

Might be the rail company footing the cost? Probably sick and tired of shutting the bridge down after every collision and sending engineers to inspect it. Edmonton has a major bridge with 10'6" clearance that has this issue as well. I found this article from a few years ago. https://globalnews.ca/news/2584287/we-may-need-to-put-an-even-bigger-sign-up-trucks-keep-getting-stuck-by-edmontons-high-level-bridge/

Never thought that a state or business would come up with money to fix infrastructure The fun part will be to se how fast they get it done. The downtime is probably the most expensive part so whichever company owns that rail is gonna want it done fast. Not gonna be a set up cones and wait three months to send out a crew type job.

My thought from the beginning is that they should just close the route under the tracks. It's not like every road has to be permanent, roads get closed all the time. One of my favorite routes to work got closed for a major construction project 6 months ago and my life isn't over. It'll probably re-open eventually but as of now there's no sign that it will be soon.

My guess is theyll just use thinner beams and increase the number of them, raising the bridge and not having to grade the tracks. The videos show they only ever needed, what, an extra foot?

Replace the flashing lights with automatic bollards or security gates. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5yGybz8WGk .

https://www.krdo.com/news/suspects-identified-in-vehicle-chase-that-led-to-multiple-crashes/1133741863 These lovely people caused a full chase through the city yesterday. Stolen vehicle, siphoning gas. We do unfortunately share the road with these people, but now hopefully not for at least 5-10 years.

The meth heads around here don't even try to siphon anymore, the cars all have anti-siphon valves. They just find a high clearance vehicle, punch a hole in the gas tank and put a bucket under it. And if the truck has more gas than their bucket can hold they just leave and let it run out on the ground. The work trucks in my work business park have all been hit like that multiple times. The owners are furious but other than install cameras there's not much they can do. Maybe bolt on some plate to make the thieves move on to a different vehicle or something. Or build parking guards like a wood box that they park on or something.

Rather come back to the parking lot to an empty car than an empty, completely inoperable car because they broke something else to get to the gas.

I'm pretty sure you're not going to fix the problem of meth addiction by making gas any easier or more difficult to access, to be quite honest. Methheads are definitely my least favourite category of addicts to deal with. They're energetic, paranoid and desperate; it's a very poor combination.

Powershift posted:Yeah, they punch holes in tanks now. Well that's what I mean, just let them have the gas. When they start breaking your car or loving up your gas tank, I don't think the anti-siphoning features are really worth it.
