Traffic was snarled on US-23 and M-14 for hours after the crash and resulted in a highway closure until Sunday afternoon.
A backhoe being towed on a trailer was too tall and struck the northbound side of the bridge. Two other vehicles were damaged by concrete debris, but only one non-life-threatening injury was reported.
The bridge was irreparably damaged and was demolished over the weekend.
