This happened along I-74 just outside of Cincinnati (story below)....but notice the "oversized load" on the trailer. Yup..it's an old GE 40-tonner. Even with part of a highway bridge laying on it...it looks better than the bridge.

From WCPO-TV (Cincinnati)
Most of the ramps at the I-74/ I-275 interchange in western Hamilton County are closed after a semi struck the pillar of an overpass there.

Artimis reports that just before 7 p.m. a truck carrying an oversized load struck the overpass where southbound I-275 goes under I-74.

According to Artimis, the ramp from westbound I-74 to southbound I-275 (Exit 5) to the Airport, Kentucky and Indiana is closed.

The ramp from northbound I-275 to westbound I-74 (to Harrison and Indiana) is also closed.

Artimis also reports that eastbound I-74 is closed at I-275 – but that all traffic must exit to southbound I-275
