The funny thing is that he should have been able to back up, and move closer to the center, and keep going! I drove a 12' tall Country Coach through the tunnel around 2010, and it fit just fine! I was going down the middle with the lanes closed except my direction.
I hope they did not do to much damage. I wonder if they used a pavement grinding machine, if they could grind away about 3' of the mountain, then lay down a new layer of 12" blacktop, and have a new lower finished floor to the tunnel!
It should not be as expensive as blocking traffic for another 2 years!
