Chesapeake Bay Bridge TUNNEL closed after equipment from truck blocks tunnel

HAMPTON ROADS, Va. – The Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel is currently closed to all traffic due to equipment blocking the roadway leading into a tunnel.
According to Deputy Executive Director of Finance and Operations Thomas Anderson, a tractor-trailer traveling northbound with a piece of equipment on the trailer struck the ceiling in Thimble Tunnel around 11 a.m. The equipment fell off the trailer and blocked the roadway.
Crews are currently assessing the situation to determine how to get the equipment and trailer removed.

    How did they not see the truck was too tall as it went through the toll?!

    That's not supposed to happen. The toll booth has height detectors that are slightly LOWER than the tunnel ceiling.
    So, how did it happen?

    I hope they bankrupt that trucking company.
    Trucking is getting out of control again.
