Battle Royale: Montague St bridge vs Truck heavyweight bout.

Recommended Posts

Many years ago in South Melbourne, rail bridges were built to ease traffic congestion. Trams take the high road, cars and trucks take the low road. In the ensuing years as truck and van cargos grew larger, the clearance height of the bridges remained the same. The Montague St bridge became the most fabled of all: immovable, impassable. Oblivious to this fact, challenger after challenger has taken on its might. All have failed.

Today another wounded challenger falls:
