View Exhibit mapBridges with a clearance too low for typical trucks. Some have cameras nearby to catch the frequent damage to trucks when they collide with the bridge and are "eaten".
This happens frequently on Storrow Drive, leading to locals referring to a truck being "Storrowed". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storrow_Drive
