Q.) How much does a house weigh???

A.) Just a tad more than a rural two-lane bridge can hold, apparently.

So would this be covered by house insurance, car insurance, or does it come under roadside assistance?

The most promising solution to remediate the situation is to simply bulldoze the house, leave the trailer in place, deck it over and repave.

When ever I permit a small bridge for a large load, the biggest key is to spread the load out over as many axles as possible. When you do that, it is amazing how much load you can pass over otherwise less-than-adequate bridges.

^bingo...it wasnt the weight that made this happen (likely) it was the axle weight.

why do you all think that companies like Mammoet have 40 axle trailers?

Or hollow it out and you'll have yourself an old fashioned covered bridge.

That's a good one. I wonder if home owner's insurance covers that?

I need to send this to my boss. He loves the "Oh shit, what do we do now" pictures.

The truck must have been going slow, I'm surprised the back of the house didn't slide off the bridge and into the river.
