In the driving lane of a state highway somewhere in eastern Kentucky. Tooling along hauling about 9pm pulling a 36' gooseneck loaded with construction equipment. I was trying to get to the Interstate to make it to Lexington for a hotel. I saw blue lights ahead, and could see people turning around, but I was past every turn-off opportunity.
Somebody had hit the superstructure of a bridge with a high load, and it was closed. I couldn't cross, and the road had guardrails on both sides with narrow shoulders so I couldn't turn around. They just had me park it right there and I slept in the driver's seat. Not a good night.
It got daylight about 6am, so they put a police car at the top of the previous hill and I backed down the road about a mile to a church parking lot and turned around.
