NORWICH – Disobeying a posted three-ton limit sign on the Redmill Hill bridge, a truck driver with a 30-ton tractor trailer drove over the expanse and then got stuck a few yards up the road while negotiating the hill’s steep, turning incline Tuesday.
The driver then attempted to reverse his truck back over the bridge, but was stopped by sheriff’s deputies arriving on the scene.
Police said the truck’s documentation said it was carrying a load at half its total capacity, weighing just over 60,000 pounds (30 tons) altogether, which is 10 times more than the bridge’s allowed weight limit.
