When Does Weather Disallow Tractor Trailers From Crossing the CBBT?
Ronnie Andrews, 60, died when his Perdue Farms tractor-trailer went over the guardrail into water; weather was ruled out as a cause by officials.
- A tractor-trailer went off the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel around 6:30 a.m., killing the driver, officials said, and the cause is under investigation.
- CBBT officials said the cause is under investigation and weather was not a factor due to low winds, no rain, and fair visibility; the bridge's four-level wind advisory system guides operational restrictions.
- On the west side of the bridge the tractor-trailer went over the guardrail before entering the water, and officials recovered the truck while maintenance crews began on-scene work.
- The CBBT sustained damage to a guardrail and curb, prompting repairs that maintenance crews began Tuesday and will continue for several days this week.
- The CBBT speed limit is 55 mph, with restrictions at 40 mph for certain vehicles and full closure at 60 mph, shaping operational safety responses.
