Two Fairfield Bridges Struck by Oversized Vehicles

It’s been a rough couple of days for bridges in town as two were struck by oversized vehicles in separate crashes on Wednesday and Thursday.

The Fairfield Citizen reports the first crash involved a chartered bus that was carrying Fairfield University students on Wednesday night.

The bus hit the railroad underpass on North Benson Road while turning from the Post Road. The driver, Ian Duncan, 33, of New York was issued an infraction.

The second crash involved a dump-truck trailer hauling an excavator on its flatbed hitting the I-95 overpass on Mill Plain Road, according to the Citizen. The driver wasn’t cited in that incident.
