Default And today's bridge bash is...

One local to me in Kingston upon Thames.

The thing about this is the bridge is 3.6m in height and the direction it
was travelling in has three signs stating that, one on each side of the
road before the bridge and one on the bridge itself.



Notices only reduce the bridge-bash-rate, so if a bridge gets more than one
bash a year they put up a gantry to be bashed so they don't have to stop
rail traffic until the bridge can be inspected.

Example, also local, the rail bridge over Hersham Road, Walton-on-Thames
