For those of you not familiar with this bridge, at least once or twice a year, we see a truck smash into the top of the 12-foot-tall bridge, which appears to be a little too small for most Semi Truck Drivers.

Penn Bridge Be Like, "Free Coke Anyone?"

If you missed it, a Coca-Cola truck, attempted its luck in trying to go underneath the bridge right next to Potter Park Zoo. I think we both know who won that battle there...

As seen above, the top of the Coca-Cola truck was opened up like a sardine can.

But, why exactly is this bridge such a problem?

The Problem With Pennsylvania Avenue Bridge

The dilemma on why we can't raise this bridge any higher than it already is is with the railroad tracks that currently go across them.

This bridge has been taking out truck drivers' loads for over 50 years now.
