Looks pretty big to me. Granted, it's not the Mississippi but as long as an articulated bus is involved with lots more "bridge" that felt I'd say is pretty big.

It only goes over a little creek. Not even a river.

A 150+ ft deep ravine, according to the article:

> Jones estimated that rescue crews had to rappel 100 to 150 feet down the ravine to rescue motorists.

It’s probably a 50-60 ft ravine and the bridge was probably 200ft long (these are guesstimates from just being around it).

Edit: I just checked - it was 447 feet. Height is probably right, but I might be under by a bit.
