I thought it was on permies where I first learned about https://11foot8.com/

Can anyone help me find the thread?

And in case you don't know the can opener

I searched the whole site for "bridge truck" and couldn't find it. Maybe I didn't read the results well enough (I'm pretty tired, so there's a chance of that). I also tried meaningless drivel for "scrape." Didn't seem to be there on first glance.

I don't recall there being a permies thread about it, but I'm pretty sure my husband was the one that told me about that bridge. I just might not have been around to see the thread/post about it.

Do you remember if it was a whole thread, or if it was just a post in a pre-existing thread?

Maybe it was Reddit where you saw about the can opener bridge in Durham, NC?

Hubby says they raised the bridge another 8 inches, but it's still too short...
