Where are the rest of the axles? That load should have at least four axles. Two in the rear, and two about mid point.... That should have spread the load out enough to avoid this............. But then again, what do I know, I work in fast food.......

whoops... well by the look of them wooden peers holding that bridge up, I'm thinking I wouldn't even bob-tail a tractor across that death trap@ 75 MPH, let alone drag an oversize across it on a set of bogies....

Well maybe if they had hired the guys who built that house, to build the bridge perhaps they would have made it to the other side.

Yep I'd be cutting a hole in the floor and going fishing .

This happened a couple of years ago not far from Calgary, Alberta. I'm pretty sure I know the moving company.

Man thats great just build the deck maybe add some stairs and use part of the bridge as a landing/dock and you have water front property that any man who fishes could call home.

Sewer line would be an easy hook up...........Just make sure your water line is further up stream!
