West Chester Road, north of Cincinnati Dayton Road has been reopened this afternoon, after a tractor-trailer got stuck trying to get through a railroad bridge.

It happened just before noon when the truck, heading southbound on West Chester Road, tried to maneuver through the short narrow bridge and the rear section of the trailer got stuck.

West Chester Police brought in two large tow trucks and a truck dolly to help wedge the trailer out from under the bridge.

We could see the road has warning signs about the 13 foot, 6 inch clearance for the older concrete underpass, but it appeared the length of the trailer(53-feet) may have played a bigger role in getting the truck stuck.

The truck had scrapes along its side and the trailer’s roof was badly dented in multiple places by the encounter with the underpass. The truck’s driver was not injured.
