Oh,yes.
11'8” is world famous.
Must have watched hours of truck smashes under that beauty.
Lift the track a foot and lower the road a foot,easy.
Or use the Railroad crossing half a mile up the road. Duh.

Lifting the train grade a foot is not possible there, it would be prohibitively expensive.
If memory serves, that is higher speed rail there, so the train grade has to remain close to same level/percentage incline.
So they’d have to raise the grade one foot for quite some distance both directions.
They looked into it at one point and said “holy crap”.
