Long Grove’s covered bridge has now been hit 35 times. Village manager: ‘I shake my head.’
The picturesque covered bridge in suburban Long Grove has once again been struck by an overzealous motorist in an oversized vehicle.
“It is marked extremely well that there’s low clearance,” Covelli said. “It’s very difficult for drivers to miss; however, several have not heeded the signage.”After the U-haul hit the bridge around 9:30 a.m., it took about an hour for a tow service operator to pull the truck free from under the bridge’s covering, Covelli added.
An inspector concluded the bridge sustained no structural damage, and the bridge was reopened at 2 p.m. Saturday. Jackson said the village is looking at other options to prevent future incidents, such as an overhead detection device.
