The height of this vessel 'USS PATOKA' was taken into consideration for it to safely pass beneath the bridge. However, it never did. The bridge still served its purpose for the upriver jack up rigs to use it. On the other hand, vehicle drivers found it scary because of the steepness of the roadway.
