The bridge had just gone through extensive renovations and updates with construction finished late summer of 2023.

This happens when there is a leaky valve in the truck hydraulics. Nothing happens when there is a full bin on the truck, but with an empty bin or no bin the leak is enough to lift the mechanism.
Poor maintenance, have the company/truck owner held responsible.
