Just a day after a shrimp boat’s outrigger caused a major traffic disruption, the same boat hit the Matanzas Pass Bridge again on Tuesday morning.
On Tuesday morning, the Florida Department of Transportation reported the the Matanzas Pass Bridge was hit by the same shrimp boat from Monday’s crash.
FDOT described the boat’s outrigger striking the bridge after which, the shrimp boat backed away.
A Lee County marine unit reported no visible damage to the bridge, and the bridge remains open.
FDOT said they have dispatched a bridge inspection team to assess the bridge and document any damage.
The U.S. Coast Guard was also made aware of the situation.
On Monday, all lanes of the bridge were closed on the Matanzas Pass Bridge for about four hours while the shrimp boat’s outrigger was dislodged from under the bridge.
