Abstract:

This study, Bridge-Vehicle Impact Assessment, revealed that a majority of these strikes occur on low-vertical clearance bridges over parkways or other local roadways prohibited to truck traffic. Although New York State has approximately 20,000 bridges, a majority of strikes are on a significantly smaller number of bridges. These bridges are struck multiple times. For example, a bridge carrying King Street in Rye Brook, New York (Westchester County in New York State) has been struck more than 100 times during the last 10 years. While some of these strikes have been seen to cause serious damage to bridges, a majority of bridge strikes create significant threat to public safety and cause severe congestions because of the truck being stuck under the bridge or cargo littering over the roadway.
