Charlottesville's 14th Street Bridge eats another one

In the 70's I had a window overlooking this bridge, every so often we were entertained. I recall a steeple and a load of live chickens.

Perhaps it shouldn't be so funny, but it is.

The noise must be horrendous.

And too bad that there aren't voice records available for what would have to be some very colorful commentary from both the drivers of the trucks, and those in the cars watching it take place.
