A truck spotted early Wednesday morning dragging several heavy, brick-and-metal powerline poles across the Third Mainland Bridge, causing sparks that have raised serious safety concerns.
The metal poles, pulled directly along the asphalt without proper lifting or containment, generated intense friction against the road surface. TVC News reports that the resulting sparks posed a potential fire risk and raised alarm over possible damage to the bridgeโs structure.
This incident comes despite existing safety protocols governing the movement of heavy-duty vehicles on the bridge, including restricted operating hours, maximum weight limits, and the requirement for official escorts. (TVC)
