The Adelaide Underpass is really starting to take shape. With both rail bridges now in place (north and south), our focus is on major excavation to create the underpass itself, where traffic will pass beneath the tracks instead of waiting for trains to pass.
Did you REALLY just highlight a truck-eating bridge from another country?
Like, I'm standing right here!
In the SAME city where you print YOUR paper.
ALSO...you call THAT a 'can-opener'....was barely a scratch.
There can be only one.

T-Shirt update!
This will be the first design.
Lots of great feedback, thanks!
Mock-ups with colour options & pricing will be announced either later tonight or tomorrow.
Pre-order will be etransfer based. Don’t worry..this bridge ain’t going anywhere.
More info soon!

Hey
@TobogganBrewery
what gives?!?
You set up
@BBFFLdnOnt
with a beer and NOT yours truly??
Real missed opportunity for a ‘Talbot Street Lunatic Bridge’ beer here.
And none of that frou frou Vanilla Stout..I want an IPA .. an Im-Pale Ale.
What say you?
#LdnOnt
Kudos to
@CityofLdnOnt
for mixing it up with me on here. I just picture the person running the account for the city getting the ‘ok’ to engage with a satirical, truck-eating bridge on their social channel. Warms my cold steel heart. Well played.

If you grew up in London, Ontario somewhere around downtown and

(maybe Talbot & Oxford), you’ll appreciate this clever Halloween outfit

Yes! I’ll let my “friend” know!
Just to be on the safe side though, you might want to throw up a few signs, just sayin.
#LdnOnt
There can be only one Can Opener.
@TalbotStBridge
You can tell your "friend" that clearance between the top of the pavement and bottom of the rail bridge structures is just over 5 metres ;)
It's the most wonderful time of the year.
With those trucks driving Talbot,
And everyone knows that
their rooftops won’t clear.
It's the most wonderful time of the year! 🎶🎶

The Talbot Street Bridge is in no way and has never been associated with or represented by Blackridge Strategy.

But if they drive a big truck, I’d welcome them to stop by and see me sometime.

Looks like those Toronto Rock the Park attendees don’t know about me.
A close call with a limo bus…almost dinner on their way to Nickelback.
Singing, “This is how, you get by me..”
Quick message of thanks and gratitude to all of you.
For everyone who has engaged, encouraged, and shared this fun little account..a big thanks from me.
Hat-tip to those truck drivers too..they make all of this possible.
Everyone..please drive safely!
#LdnOnt
I wasn’t going to do this..I’ve been practicing restraint but this is just too good...
Hey
@BBFFLdnOnt
! Anyone dress up as you for Halloween?
Heh. Heh.
#LdnOnt
Test run & first t-shirt.
Big thanks to Randy at Alby’s Print Shop for setting me up with this ‘test tee’
Really happy with the way this turned out. Lightweight and awesome direct-to-garment print result.
Can’t wait to see a few of these on folks in
#LdnOnt
So I just heard from our now famous TSB trick-or-treater via his gf (Thank you!). He doesn’t have twitter but I have his details to get him a TSB t-shirt and get this..he’s going to dress up and get a pic standing next to..well, me!
Will keep you all posted!

I just woke my teenagers with the news that the

Someone at the CBC likes me..another article!
You folks want to come out and interview me? Get my side of the story? You should bring out a big news truck 😉
🚚🥊🚚🥊🚚🥊
You DO realize this is a light-hearted twitter account for a bridge in
#LdnOnt
that periodically gets hit by moving trucks, right?
Or did you not take the time to figure that out?
Durham’s most famous (infamous?) bridge will go through a change soon. The “can opener” bridge has had countless run-ins with overheight trucks over the years.
Next week, it’ll be raised eight inches.
@WRAL
You like me....you really like me!
Thanks
#LdnOnt
for voting yours truly as your favourite bridge in London! A big shout out to the tall trucks that made this possible and you..the voters!

Don’t expect a fix to the truck-busting Talbot Street bridge, city officials say, despite occasional roof-shearing crashes at the notorious low-clearance underpass. Our

I like to think of those signs as polite suggestions. I personally welcome all the new students to this wonderful city. Please..by all means..feel free to traverse Talbot Street with your moving trucks and stop by for a hello.
#LdnOnt
Heading back to school downtown? If you're bringing a big moving truck, remember that
@TalbotStBridge
has height limit of 3.3 m. Look for the yellow warning signs!

So during my CBC interview, I was asked what it’s like when people see me wearing a TSB t-shirt and their reaction. Obviously it’s a cool moment and I let people know I’m the guy behind the account.
So after I leave and head to work…

Every time we rent a cube van from a certain company and tell them that we are going to London with it, they make us sign an agreement to not take the vehicle under that bridge.
Me: He Ryder driver..you see that sign?
Ryder driver: Yeah, but I think I got this
Me: You sure, driver?
Ryder driver: 👍🏻 (threw me a thumbs up through the windshield)
Me: Ok let’s do this

…I’m in line getting a coffee and a guy walks up to me.
He said he noticed the shirt (I was wearing one for the interview) and wanted to show me some pics he took of the last ‘incident’
So a huge thanks to Steve for saying hi and sharing these great pics with me!
Well, it sounds like I need to get to work on some fresh new designs.
Thanks to everyone for the feedback!
Give me (Ed) a bit to get a little catalog drafted and I’ll most likely set up a Printify/Etsy store for folks to shop at for their TSB merch.
Thanks again,
