I don't think it's NC's infamous Canopener Bridge

http://11foot8.com/faq/ That does a pretty good job of explaining why they don't update the bridge.
IIRC, railroads still have 'rank' over roadways, and commercial waterways (bridge openings) may be higher rank than either. Part of this is a legacy issue from how transportation developed -- ships > trains > autos. And some of it still makes sense when it comes to right-of-ways, the less-maneuverable get preference. It's easier to stop a car than a train and it's easier to stop a train than a big container ship.
A couple of years ago, I read that Vegas has a helluva train problem with its road crossings but it's not the railroads' problem to fix. Here, navigable waterways can force bridge openings that snarl traffic. On the 4th of July, heavy beach traffic met heavy boat traffic at some drawbridges and the boats won. The DOT finally negotiated with the Feds and got scheduled bridge-openings during peak times since it was primarily recreational boating.

"A seemingly motorcycle-obsessed "young woman" in Japan has been unmasked as a 50-year-old man with great hair, after he revealed that he used a face-changing, gender-swapping app to become an influencer on Twitter."
>japan
Many of the posts were filled with optimistic sayings and emojis, and a few of them show the "woman" posing in a towel or topless.
Some followers started to get suspicious when they noticed the hair on Azusagakuyuki's arm in a few recent photos
Wait a minute ....so -unless he's on hormone therapy- they didn't get suspicious with flatter-than-A-cups but picked up on arm hair?

And Harvard. Somehow Harvard became the little guy.
By my count, Newsom is the second governor in a month to dare Trump to arrest him (the first being Tony Evers of Wisconsin).
