WELL, that was quick: it’s not even finished yet but some numpty’s already driven into the new Seventh Avenue bridge.

The folks from the Maylands Residents and Ratepayers’ Association spotted (and heard) the bridge boop on Friday morning, when a cherry picker challenged the 4.7m clearance sign with a partially raised arm.

The ablative sign took the brunt of the impact with the concrete underside getting a scouring too.

Boneheads running into the bridge is a tradition carried over from the old bridge that stood for more than a century.
