Dangerous bridge

category: on the road

Swindon, home of the infamous ‘Magic Roundabout’ also lays claim to the dubious virtue of “Britain’s most dangerous bridge“.

it was hit by over 130 vehicles in the 1990s alone. That includes one double-decker on 15 October, 1996 which Railtrack deliberately rammed into the structure at 40 mph to publicize the danger of this bridge in particular and low bridges in general”

The site contains an impressive photograph of the double-decker hitting the bridge.
