Truck too high for railway overpass on Beukenweg, train traffic temporarily halted

A truck driver became stuck after attempting to pass under a railway viaduct on Beukenweg in Amsterdam, as the vehicle exceeded the maximum height restriction of 3.6 meters. The impact caused significant damage to the truck and prompted authorities to temporarily halt all train traffic heading toward Utrecht and Gouda for safety inspections. ProRail engineers assessed the structure to ensure the viaduct remained safe for transport. Following their inspection, it was determined that the bridge sustained no structural damage from the collision. Normal train operations were gradually resumed after the clearance was confirmed by officials. The incident highlights the dangers of exceeding clearance height limits at local infrastructure sites, which can lead to major service disruptions for commuters across the regional rail network.
