The New York State Department of Transportation said on their Facebook page<\/a> that the strike took place along State Route 9A in Westchester County.<\/p>\n The NYSDOT said that their crews and bridge inspectors responded and confirmed the bridge is safe for travel. Law enforcement is investigating the cause.<\/p>\n See Also: Bridge in New York State Hit Three Times In Less Than a Day<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The New York State DOY sent on to remind everyone that “oversized vehicle drivers must know their height before they roll”. “One wrong move could shut down a roadway, damage infrastructure, and put people at risk.

That distinction belongs to another one in the lower Hudson Valley.<\/p>\n According to the\u00a0Greenwich Times<\/a>, the\u00a0King Street bridge<\/a>\u00a0on the border of Rye Brook, NY, and Greenwich, CT., where the Hutch becomes the Merritt Parkway, has been struck more times than any other bride in the state of New York.<\/p>\n The Times said in 2019 that the bridge had been struck almost 150 times in just the past ten years. Steps have been taken in\u00a0recent years\u00a0<\/a>to put more warnings on the face of the King Street bridge, and more signs on I-287 to warn trucks from getting on the Hutchinson Parkway.<\/p>\n However,\u00a0according to data collected by the state\u00a0Department of Transportation<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0Thruway Authority<\/a>, vehicles struck bridges in New York state at least 344 times in 2021.<\/p>\n New York’s Most Random World Records<\/p>\n New York State is known for so many great things.
