I used to work really close to where this bridge is at my last job and many of my coworkers had worked in offices even closer previously. Supposedly, every time there was a crash people would rush to observe what happened even though it was a fairly common occurrence.

The bridge is located in a kinda odd space to do construction. While I imagine it's possible to retrofit or dig it to be deeper, it likely would have been really inconvenient to the adjacent businesses.

They actually raised the bridge another 8 inches recently. The 11foot8 channel covered a lot of the work being done and stuff.... and the 12foot4 bridge still gets new victims from time to time, just less often.
