Is the Westbrook bridge becoming the new Auburn Walmart landmark?


The infamous Auburn Walmart pole that has been struck by numerous drivers over the years has now met its match – the Brown Street Bridge in Westbrook. Despite clear signage indicating its low clearance of 11.5 feet, multiple trucks have attempted to pass through the bridge and ended up getting stuck. Most recently, a box truck fell victim to the bridge, prompting Westbrook police to remind truck drivers to pay attention to signage and do their “homework” before attempting to pass beneath it. The Westbrook Professional Firefighters were called to the scene to deal with the aftermath of the crash, which resulted in a two-hour operation to clear the wreck. This incident is just one in a series of crashes involving trucks and the Brown Street Bridge in recent months, with a tractor-trailer becoming wedged under the bridge in a separate incident the previous September. Westbrook police are urging truck drivers to be cautious and adhere to the height restrictions of the bridge to avoid similar mishaps in the future. The Brown Street Bridge has now become the new local attraction, gaining a reputation for challenging drivers who underestimate its height requirements.
