Truck Found Too Tall for Vught Viaduct, Forced to Turn Around, Digi Mart USA News (Vught, Netherlands): A truck driver, 45, caused a traffic jam on the A65 near Vught on Thursday afternoon after his vehicle proved too tall to pass under a viaduct. The truck was half a meter taller than the structure, so he could not continue.
The driver had not collided with the viaduct, but he was unable to proceed further. The viaduct measures 4.1 meters in height, while the truck measures 4.6 meters.
“That is exactly what the driver had estimated,” the Eastern Brabant Traffic Police wrote on social media.
The truck had to turn around. Rijkswaterstaat closed the road, which caused considerable congestion on the roads surrounding Vught.
The driver received a fine of 1,200 euros. He must also pay an additional fine of 190 euros for missing a mirror.
