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?
Nice place and a great day to be stuck in traffic.
Well, 99.999999% of truckers know about height restrictions.
The people crossing that bridge don't have anywhere to go anyway.They just aimlessly drive around.
D"OH!
I hope they bankrupt that trucking company.
Trucking is getting out of control again.
Still sitting here on bridge what a mess. Been waiting 7 hours
Guess I was lucky. Only waited 4 hours, almost insight of the toll plaza.
