As if the United States doesn’t already have enough infrastructure problems.

A dump trailer with its raised dumpster slammed into a Georgia highway overpass early Thursday morning so hard it moved it six feet.

“This is something our engineers have never seen before,” said a spokesperson for the Georgia Ministry of Transportation.

The incident took place around 1:30 a.m. on Interstate 16 in Soperton where it passes under SR-86.

No one was injured and it has not yet been determined whether the dumper filled with tractor tires was in the wrong position due to driver error or malfunction.

The main artery connecting Macon and Savannah will be closed in both directions until the bridge deck is demolished and the lanes are cleared.

GTOD told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that it hopes to have at least one lane open in each direction by Sunday.
