Another over-10-feet-high vehicle hears the siren call of the 14th Street bridge, fails to heed its warning signs, and becomes a casualty of its low clearance.

    Distracted driving ? Difficult not to hear that siren.

    Strongest bridge in town. Built in 1901. American Bridge Company. The JPA bridge over the tracks built in the late 30’s is the worst.

    Highway worker I talked to at the JPA bridge said, don’t drive on that bridge if there is a heavy truck on it, not safe, scary .

    Sometimes when you walk over that JPA bridge next to the chicken restaurant, if you stop, you can hear people talking underneath the bridge. :)
