LOL, no milk and ice cream today!!

Hell; this is only the two thousand and fourteenth truck/trailer that's hit that damned tunnel/under/over pass on Gallatin.

Better luck next time!

About a decade back, someone from Enterprise Car Rentals had picked me up from the Volvo Repair place on East Rankin.

We got to that underpass, to see that it was seriously flooded. Turning around, the rental agent called the appropriate city entity, to report the flooding. Apparently, they were like "SO?". She spent about three minutes trying to explain why this mattered. They were still like, "SO?"

And every time a truck hits that thing, I'm sure somebody tells the appropriate people, whose responsibility it is to do something, like install blinkylights, or reflectors at the critical edge, or BIG warning signs (or just clean the damn thing of its BLACK MOLD CAMO, so it's more visible). But I'm sure that when people do report it, the appropriate authorities are like, "SO?"

As much as the crime, it's the aggregate effect of a million little things like this, which explain the exodus from the Capital.

They should install a flashing sign to warn these professionals if their truck is too tall.

It's been a hazard for 75 years. Why not consider making it passable for the traffic that obviously uses that route?

Is there a law against being a dumbass?

Look at the picture on the utility pole right above the windshield of the police car......there are the suggested lights and sign..

There are warning signs there telling of the height restriction. Truck drivers know - or should know - th e height of their truck. If they can't read the signs, or fail to heed it, screw'em.

For the idiot posters on here that think the city should tear down the existing bridge and raise it - just how high would you like it to be? Maybe we should just eliminate all overpass bridges in the city because drivers are too stupid to know what the limits are?

There are plenty of other methods of reaching the areas on both sides of this bridge - trucks that are too high to go under this obstacle should pay attention to the warnings and take another route.

I was told the posted height of the bridge is incorrect. Maybe that explains why many trucks have done this.

I was told that a rhinoceros and donkey mated to form the illusive unicorn. Since I believe everything someone tells me, I keep looking for the unicorn to this day.
