Gregson St. blocked at Main St. (another truck wedged)

Heads-up to downtown commuters: Avoid Gregson St. this morning if at all possible. A tractor-trailer appears to have wedged underneath the railroad bridge at Peabody & Gregson.  All traffic is being routed off the street at Main.

Which is fine as of 7:15 am, but won't look so good in an hour's time, shall we say. Expect Gregson to clog up as far back as Trinity at the least, and Main St. to be a mess, too.

Ironically, I discovered this upon arriving at Alivia's for a quick morning breakfast & blogging session -- the latter of which focuses on Duke/Gregson traffic calming. More on that in a bit.

Irony, or coincidence?

This could have saved me a lot of trouble if I were in the habit of checking the internet before I left for work!

Wish I'd seen this earlier, too.

This happens all the time. Just another idiot truck driver driving to fast.

Thank goodness it was free McSkillet Burrito Day at McDonald's (also in effect tomorrow, if you missed it).

I got to see what Barry is talking about re: the merging of lanes on 55 south at Duke Park. Sheesh!

One of the Duke Press employees (offices at Brightleaf) collects metal shavings from trestle hits. The shavings look cool: curlicues and wavy things, some of which remind me of old Christmas candy.
