Easily solved. Raise the roadbed a few feet and drivers will stop thinking they can get under the track.

1. Widen the bridge.
2. Re-route the sewer to run over the widened section of bridge.
3. Lower the road.

Just another example of the contempt with which our politicians hold us.
Every time I enter a construction zone I am reminded that the politicians never, never, are held accountable for all those traffic jams caused by poorly negotiated construction contracts.
Traffic rerouted into tiny little lanes for day, weeks, months, while the contractor is elsewhere working on a another project and nothing is being accomplished to complete this job.

The idiot truckers ignore the warnings.
We have one on Storrow Drive in Boston that the truckers have been driving under for years-——ignoring the warnings and tying up traffic when they get stuck.

I’ve noticed that these construction projection are ramped up at election time.

Truckers should know the height of their own trucks. When I saw some videos of this a few years ago it appeared that most of the damaged trucks were rental trucks, not driven by regular truck drivers. I wondered if the rental companies might have somehow arranged to benefit from these accidents.

Sometimes the governator of a State messes up traffic to the detriment of his political foes.

There are some low clearances on the Wilburcross/Merritt Parkways in Connecticut (Route 15) which eventually becomes the Hutchinson River Parkway in New York State.
The solution in Connecticut is to not allow commercial traffic. But people do it anyway sometimes.

Build arches far enough back, in both directions, which will trigger super bright flashing lights and loud alarm bells, to allow enough distance to stop.
Followed by a way to turn around and choose an alternate route.
Not rocket science.

From your comment, I immediately assumed you lived in Pennsylvania where, after all, the traffic cone is the state tree.

Syracuse NY has the same problem. They tried that solution. It didn’t work.

2. Re-route the sewer to run over the widened section of bridge.Sewers are gravity systems. Introduce a pumping station requiring power along a major sewer line and you've exchanged one problem for a much bigger one.

Have a sensor that measures the height of the truck some distance before the bridge. If it is too tall, a device slices off the top of the truck, lifts it away, and sets it down on its pile of truck tops.
Now the truck will fit under the bridge and traffic will not be stopped while they extricate the truck. If the trucker wants his top, he can pick it up when he comes back through from the other direction.
