schmidtgeorge+FollowThis "Big Penny" Bridge Just Ruined Its 100th TruckFound a story from Lansing, Michigan that I thought was pretty interesting. There's a small railroad bridge there the locals call "Big Penny," and it's well known for being a bit too low for many of the tall trucks that try to go under it. The bridge just hit a major milestone, actually claiming its 100th victim since 2004. The community reportedly held a party to celebrate the occasion.😂 Someone decorated it with googly eyes and fangs, so it looks like a monster waiting for its next meal. The city has allowed the decorations to stay, perhaps hoping it would get the attention of drivers who missed all the warning signs. It didn't seem to help much, as the bridge claimed another truck less than 12 hours after the decorations were put up 😝 #Lansing #BigPenny #UrbanLegend #LocalNews #FunnyStory #Community #Cars #Traffic 10Share
