What is a general reason some bridges, in addition to tunnels, carry restrictions for certain hazmat loads?
Pick an answer
Correct!
Not quite. The correct answer is highlighted.
Correct answer to question 94 (Hazardous Materials): An incident on a bridge can be just as hard to manage as one in a tunnel, with limited room to maneuver or evacuate
Why
Like a tunnel, a bridge offers little room to pull over, turn around, or evacuate quickly, which is why certain hazmat loads face routing restrictions there as well, separate from ordinary weight limits.
