Looks like the bus named in the NTSB report is 39000-45500 lb, so under the bridge's weight limit:

But what if it was at that top range, 22.75 tons. The math would add up, with 5 other cars on the bridge weighing an average of 1.4 tons each, we would have 29.75 tons or so on the bridge. Before the 10 or so tons of snow is added.

Bridge weight ratings are per vehicle.
