The Wall Street Journal’s Roshan Fernandez explains Boston’s low bridge problem, which sees numerous vehicles crash into bridges each year. He writes:

For years, the largest city in New England has wrestled with a problem that seems easily fixable: People keep crashing tall trucks into low bridges.

Nobody knows this better than the team at Trillium Brewing.

Almost a decade ago, the local brewery launched its Storrowed beer, named after the local term for the frequent incidents along Storrow Drive. The seasonal double IPA was meant to be a public-service announcement to warn drivers against wedging box trucks under low-clearance bridges.

But then, last May, the brewery’s own truck got Storrowed. A new out-of-town driver was relying on their own GPS, instead of the company-provided one showing truck-specific routes, when the Trillium vehicle crashed into a low bridge. No one was hurt, but the truck’s top crumpled and some chicken wings had to be tossed.

It was one of three bridge collisions that day.

“How is that possible?” said Jason Santos, director of transportation engineering at the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation, which oversees some of the bridges. “If you talk about irony, how does the driver of a brew called Storrow get Storrowed?”

So far this year, there have been 36 Storrowings requiring police intervention on the three main roads along the Charles River, according to Santos. Actual bridge strikes accounted for just under half of those. The data also includes situations where trucks reversed out before impact—maneuvers that trigger significant traffic backups.
