Where I grew up, a river floods quite frequently, and the MTO's solution was to install a baily bridge that could be 'thrown away' and reinstated quickly every time there was a flood. This was a highway baily bridge. In the 90's we got an 'upgrade' from wood to steel deck...it was very loud.
I'm sure if you told the neighbours this story about the loud buses going 20km/hr, they'd laugh and laugh.
But aside aside, what if we covered the bridge with high-density rubber mats? Too much additional load?

There was a bailey bridge on Highway 17 between Deep River and Mattawa for the past couple years, and it made no noise at all. This issue seemed to be a specific issue with the installation here.
