But lots of truck drivers on the BQE just aren’t getting the message. The Brooklyn Bridge exit from the eastbound lanes of the BQE is a tight, narrow, uphill turn. When long 18-wheelers try to make the exit, they get stuck on the ramp. And while shorter box trucks can fit through the turn, those drivers quickly realize they can’t fit beneath the bridge’s trusses.
Don't know if you've ever covered it, and I wouldn't be surprised at all if you have, but the Onondaga Parkway bridge in Syracuse gets struck at least a half dozen times a year. And there's signs, flashing warning lights and every other advance warning. Makes no difference
ReplyDeleteForgot to mention it's a testimonial to the bridge construction as it still stands and gets used daily by CSX railroad
