Truck Strikes Bridge Near Hampton

2009-05-14

The Department of Transportation is performing an inspection on the Kennebecasis River bridge near Hampton today. This after a tractor trailer hit a clearance beam on the structure yesterday on Route 121. Andrew Holland with DOT tells CHSJ news the beam served its purpose.

RCMP tell us the driver is not pleased because he says his tractor is well below the posted height 4.1 meter limit which is shown on the sign of the structure.  Holland with DOT says drivers should pay close attention to the signs and he's not sure why the trucker was confused about the clearance.  The driver wasn't hurt but one of the beams of the bridge is bent.
