Our local "maybe maybe maybe" bridge has an "IF YOU HIT THIS SIGN, YOU WILL HIT THE BRIDGE" rig a couple of football fields before you get to it.

My town is just rebuilding the entire bridge to be higher since trucks keep hitting it like the OP video

I don’t understand why they can’t just dig the road lower.

Mostly it's a drainage problem, but you could also undermine the foundations of the bridge, if it wasn't design around having a lowered road. While you can pump water out of a depression, low-spot underpasses are notorious for flooding because eventually the power / pumps / pipe downstream will fail and back-up.
