Looks like a covered bridge now.
Although it has nothing to do with the bridge collapsing, that is a lot of weight for only two axles.

If you look closely at the pictures you can see another set of tires down in or near the river. It appears one set or more fell off when the bridge collapsed.
Wonder if they could just buy the property and set the thing up right there? They'd have a great view of the river!
Did they ever get the thing off the bridge?

Wow, whoever planned that route is in trouble!
Or whoever was supposed to have inspected that bridge.

Dennis, you are right, more axles that fell off, I think I see two sets, but not sure.
SO, if this were your house, would you take delivery after this little incident?? Wonder about the damage to the entire structure.

It is going to cost someone a few buck's to replace that bridge.

They may not be using axles,Iam wondering if each set of four wheels somehow are mounted independently.

Not really sure, but looking at the first photo it looks like each axle has multiple tires. Or is it dual tires on each axle, I can't really tell.

Looks like one part of a tandem axles under the bridge. One is plain to see in the second picture and the other part is in the lower left corner of the bridge colapse. Each axle is running dual wheels tandems (two sets of duals on each side of the axle.) That would be twelve tires total.

The insurance company is going to have a field day with this one. "What do you mean that you didn't know the weight rating of that bridge before you tried to cross it???"
Anyone want to buy a slightly used, never lived in modular home?

I can't believe that they moved it in one piece like that. It looks a lot like a double wide to me. It must be well built because I don't see any broken windows.

I'll bet TWO cranes? Clutch that struck me too that there seem to be no shattered windows - maybe some cracks?

Maybe the RV trailer industry should take note on how to build a "mobile" home.
