Oh, it would clear the roof all right - it just wouldn't be a covered bridge any more.

Or the bridge would still be covered, but your bus wouldn't...

Well, school bus bodies are a lot stronger than people think (I say this as someone that's rebuilt one as a skoolie) but so are wooden structures. I'd pay good money to find out whether school bus or covered bridge roof would win in a fight. I think the reality is that they'd both come out of it in pretty bad shape - but the kids would be fine.
