My brother-in-law works in the construction business and has a CDL and speaks quite harshly of the quality of tractor trailer drivers in the Binghamton area, particularly on the Rt I-81 corridor. He says a semi gets wedged in the Tompkins Street Bridge about once a month despite prominent warning signs.

If it happens once, it's the fault of the driver. If it happens once a month, it's the fault of the engineers.
Seen that way they should tear down the bridge and build one with high clearance.
