Raise the bridge or lower the road. Or do a combo. Undercutting the road with a machine and recycling the pavement could lower it substantially. My town uses a machine that mills the blacktop. They use it to take out crowns and excess built-up layers. The nearby city which was short on paving money finally followed tried it with super success, to the delight of residents. The worst war zone streets were done, many cut down to the original bricks.

Why won't the railroad cooperate? Locally CSX actually raised a few of theirs by re-shimming them. The lifted the stringers and added steel girders to the tops of the pillars.
