Another Excavator Bridge Strike

Measuring tape along with reading comprehension and common horse sense, can be very helpful…..

 

I’m pretty certain that bridge is 13’10 high right there….. I-295 is the way around those lower bridges on I-95.

 

You'll need a permit for height starting at 13'7 The thing is, whether you are going north or south on I95 or east/west on I-64 in VA there is an over height marker if you're over height to take I-295. Its huge flashing yellow lights, it goes off if you're over height as you go by.

I have an annual for VA that allows up to 14 high but, I know not to go over height on 95 through Richmond.

 

Some of these guys make me shake my head even when it’s a legal load. Just seen this guy close to home….

 

Wow that’s a great job lmao….at least it looks tight and new

 

It’s pretty amazing how often this has been happening…. I saw one where they hit a 16-10 bridge…. You got to be kidding me that’s 3 plus feet taller than normal hight and somehow they didn’t know that.

 

The single chain? Or is there something else I'm missing?

 

1 chain & 1 binder across the winch, and 1 chain & 1 binder across the blade….
