For the uninitiated
I read the site but couldn't find why the sign says 12'4 if it's really 11'8"?
Edit: Thanks for all the answers everyone. Now the 11'8"+8" makes so much more sense.
They actually raised it back in 2019.

It didn’t help much, obviously.
IIRC, they didn't raise it because of the crashes. It's a privately owned rail line and they don't care about that because the bridge itself wasn't being damaged. It needed to be renovated anyway so they raised it to be level with the nearby at-grade crossing while they were at it.
Yeah the bridge itself wasn't being damaged because they installed a goddamn I-beam in front of it as a crash barrier.
It was sadly raised due to the high number of crashes
Probably would have helped more to lower the bridge even more 🤣
They won't because there is an old sewer main that runs underneath and according to the town is prohibitively expensive to reconcile all of that with the bridge lowering.
The rail line won't increase the height anymore because then it will cause a hump in the train tracks there.
