That Bridge Is Too Low in Olympia Fields, Illinois

This is not good...
The bridge clearance is
11 feet 9 inches & the height
of motorhome is 12 feet 4 inches.

Eric stopped, put on the flashers,
turned off the motorhome,

 got out & unhitched the Jeep.

While he relocated it, cars 

took turns using the one 

free lane to under the bridge.

After about 10 minutes, the
Olympia Field police showed up
& started directing traffic.

Eric is backing up.

That rear camera is awesome! 

Eric backed the motorhome
onto a dirt road about 70
feet from where we stopped
short of the bridge.

We got a $50.00 ticket for

not being able to fit

 under a viaduct.

We knew that someday this would happen on a busy road.  We need to be more alert for bridge height signage.  This happened once before near Alexandria Bay, but we were on a rarely used road and we took care of things without seeing a police car or getting a ticket..
