Ive lived in this area for about 2 years now and in that time we have experienced huge delays getting through Grantham (which is horrendous to drive through at best of times) due to lorries hitting the railway bridges. This has happened at least 4 times.
Now can someone explain to me how this is allowed to happen so often?
Surely a good idea before important bridges would be to have some kind of sacrificial A -Frame over the road about 20 metres before the actual bridge. If the bridge is 20ft high, have a 20ft steel frame downroad of it. Get through this, and you can get through the bridge.
That way if a lorry hits that, hes not gonna cause massive issues for structural engineers trying to reinforce the real bridge.
