    Same bridge. Second time in 24hrs. Possibly the same trucking company.

    Which bridge and why did he hit it? I've never seen a low bridge in Milwaukee.

    it was at the ZOO interchange. It isnt a low bridge but I dont have any details....other than the link I posted above.

    I get the impression that he was either at or slightly above the max height and was in the right most lane where the bridge is the lowest.

    They have shut down the distress lane at this time to study and repair the damage...

    The Bridge that was hit was the I 45, 894, 41 bridge. It was hit from the 94 west bound side. That bridge is not marked but it is probably ( my opinion ) exactly 13' 6" which in wisconsin is supposed to be marked as 13' 6". I believe the bridges are supposed to be well marked for anything under 16' in Wisconsin ( again my information not for sure accurate). I saw the accident on the 3rd when I was heading home for my gear from orientation with my new company.
