IIRC, they didn’t raise it because of the crashes. It’s a privately owned rail line and they don’t care about that because the bridge itself wasn’t being damaged. It needed to be renovated anyway so they raised it to be level with the nearby at-grade crossing while they were at it.

I read the site but couldn’t find why the sign says 12’4 if it’s really 11’8"?

They actually raised it back in 2019.

It didn’t help much, obviously.

Yeah the bridge itself wasn’t being damaged because they installed a goddamn I-beam in front of it as a crash barrier.

It was sadly raised due to the high number of crashes

Probably would have helped more to lower the bridge even more 🤣
