That is one big mobile home, might as well leave it there, it's close to the fish.

And if not careful, you may actually be sleeping with the fishes !

"Bridge over troubled water" now the bridge is in trouble under water!

Someone at the State Highway Department or at the moving company screwed up (probably both). It is typical practice that outsized and oversized loads get a convoy clearance that checks load, width and height restrictions over the entire route. Obviously, someone underestimated the load or overestimated the bridge capacity at this location. Based on what I see, that bridge was probably rated for a maximum of 20 tons. The house & trailer is likely closer to 40 tons. The bridge appears to have failed in compression at the center pier. Note the other axle set on the embankment near the water.

That's a pretty sturdy trailer since the house doesn't appear to have buckled at all. However, I suspect that there is alot of compression damage to the interior walls and such. If they can get a 60 ton crane to that location, they may be able to lift it out with minimal damage .... but I seriously doubt it.

That does not appear to be a manufactured home.:dunno: My dad owns a company that sets them up three states wide. I'll have to send him this one!
