Yet another truck became wedged beneath the Talbot Street rail bridge Friday, prompting a barrage of wise cracks on social media.

The Canadian Pacific Railway bridge that spans Talbot Street is one of the few North-South routes through the downtown where drivers don't run the risk of being caught by a train.

It's also a notorious choke point for transport trucks that become stuck, a phenomenon that's so common it has inspired someone to create an account in the bridge's name on Twitter.

The truck became stuck early Friday afternoon after the driver misjudged the height of the overpass clearly labelled in both directions as 3.3 meters.

So how often does the bridge get "visitors"?

"Too often!," chuckles London's Director of Roads and Transportation Doug MacRae.

The City of London is not responsible for the bridge, but in 2017 in an effort to reduce accidents, it installed an arm ahead of the underpass with a pole over the road to indicate to drivers the height requirement.

"It's sacrificial so if a driver hits it, they can hear the bang and stop before going under," said MacRae.

He adds the city has also improved reflective signing across the top of the bridge.
