Durham Gregson Street Guillotine 01
The famous Gregson Street Guillotine. Built-in 1940, the Norfolk Southern-Gregson Street Overpass is located at the Gregson and Peabody intersection, in downtown Durham, North Carolina; it is famous for being constantly being hit by trucks who ignore the numerous height warnings. The bridge was recently reconstructed by an extra 8 inches so the bridge is now 12 feet and 4 inches. – Washuotaku, CC BY-SA 4.0 – Wikimedia Commons
