Railroad Trestle on Highway 70 Site of Stuck Big Rig
A big rig became jammed underneath a railroad trestle in Marysville on February 13, but it isn’t the first time this type of accident has been reported. The crossing is located at the Binney Junction of Highway 70, where the tractor-trailer became lodged. The California Union Pacific had to send out structural engineers to examine the bridge before the semi could be safely removed. Due to the accident, a stretch of Highway 70 was shut down between E. 12th and 18th streets. There is a sign posted saying that the height clearance of the bridge is 14’1”, but apparently not all truckers are aware of it until it’s too late.
