The "D" sign stands for over dimension. Not sure why we use it up here but its our canadian oversized load sign.

I assume your talking about the first one being the largest? It looks bigger than the one in the second pic.

That is some load and nice pic, the engineer of that bridge would stand there with a big smile seeing that monster cross it !Looks like it would take years off of that bridge though. I wouldn't want the task of ok-ing that thing for safe crossing !Think
I say it again Amazing what man can build ...!
