No one has suggested retractable spike strips? They could auto-engage when they detect an over height vehicle and nearly instantly take 6-8" off of the height of an oncoming truck.

horizontal buzzsaw?
Have all traffic drive into a portal on one side of the bridge, and out another portal on the other side.

Oh my giddy aunt that thread is hilarious:
Notice how bridge signs are always in 3 inch increments?
The advice is give yourself a good six inches.

Consequences for the driver involved are likely to be a minimum 6 month suspension of the vocational driving licence.
For the Operator (company running the lorry) it may well mean the revocation of their Operator’s licence. Which means the end of the business.
Serious stuff.

has anyone considered perhaps moving the town?
