The infamous Louisville bridge at the corner of 3rd and Eastern Parkway, otherwise known as the Can Opener, has claimed her fair share of victims over the past year.

Month after month, Our Lady of Perpetual Noms chows down on some tasty metal shards as yet another out-of-town trucker discovers the feat of civil engineering that is the Louisville Can Opener.

Feast your eyes upon some of the most recent calamities as we once again ask ourselves:

  • How can truck drivers see all the clearance signs and still hit the bridge?
  • How is our girl still standing?
  • How hard can it be to have GPS re-route oversized vehicles away from the ‘Ville’s most problematic underpass?

Will Louisvillians be asking these questions until the end of time? All signs point to yes.
