The light at the end of the N. Main St. tunnel beneath the Union Pacific Line was obscured for a bit this morning where the northbound side of the road re-emerges into tossed-coffee-cup range of the Burnett Transit Center light-rail stop (atop the topmost overpass in the shot above.) The semi that briefly plugged the hole looks to have scraped its way through the entire length of the tunnel before getting stuck at the northern exit. Transtar pinned the stopup to about 10:38 this morning; not much had changed as of 40 minutes ago (see below), but the road is now marked by professional traffic-watchers as cleared.Â

The shot above was taken a stone’s throw from those repeatedly roughed up Hardy Yards signage letters.

Oops. Clearly marked as 12′ 9″ clearance. I’m SURE my 14′ truck is special and will fit through there!

That’ll buff right out.
What an idiot! Nothing more one can say.
Look up “11 foot 8 bridge.com” if you want to see some funny compilations.
Another one this morning. This one looks like the old-timey sardine cans that you opened by turning a key on the top to peel the lid off.
