INFRASTRUCTURE * USA: The "Battle with the bridge."
* Pennsylvania - PennDOT repairs sign warning trucks from Seven Valleys bridge
-- A tractor-trailer sits on Main Street in Seven Valleys after it got stuck under a bridge on Wednesday. Tractor-trailer driver Karl Edwards of New Jersey said he had been driving from Maryland to York to pick up a load and that this was his first accident in about 20 years... The big truck got stuck while trying to go under a historic railroad bridge in Seven Valleys... Big trucks have been traveling into Seven Valleys only to find that they cannot fit underneath the bridge, which has an 11-foot, 1-inch clearance. Some turn around. Others try to make it through and get stuck. The county had to fix the damaged span a few years ago after a truck tore a piece out of one of the underlying girders... The truck that hit the bridge on Wednesday scraped a sign, knocking off a little bit of paint, said Barry Myers, superintendent of buildings and grounds for the York County Parks... A sign that warns trucks to not go through that area had been knocked down. Crews with the state Department of Transportation fixed the sign on Wednesday...
