Aug 2015. The bridge has been reconstructed, and the road widened (with sidewalks for pedestrians!) since then. Whether the Franklin commuter rail line was graded to raise the rails, or the road regraded to lower the roadway, is not clear from the pictures.

It looks like they may have used support girders that were not as high as the original I-beams, and the new bridge has a longer span. That and a reduced thickness of the deck could have gained a foot or more of clearance. How the rest of the 2' 9" of increased clearance was accomplished is, as you say, not clear.
