'It shouldn't take months to repair a piece of broken guardrail,' Vescio said.
-- A suburban mayor is imploring the New York State Department of Transportation to speed up safety improvements on a challenging stretch of road. As CBS2's Tony Aiello reported Monday, it was not designed for the hundreds of big trucks that travel it every day. "I've heard of trucks like getting their tops ripped off on there," one person said. Clearance in the right lane is just 10 feet, 10 inches. Tall trucks must merge left to make it safely under.
Vescio says three weeks ago, trucks collided when one suddenly stopped to avoid hitting the overpass. Eighteen years ago, Aiello covered the aftermath of a fuel truck that crash and burned after it hit a car in its blind spot while merging back into the right lane after clearing the bridge.
