Crossing a bridge over the Deep River...narrow bridge, maybe 2' between the fog line and the concrete sides of the bridge....meeting an 18-wheeler halfway across the bridge. I'm doing 55-ish.
I'm committed, he's committed, THEN we see the workers on the bridge. No orange work signs, no cones, only a couple of them had vests on. Looked like private contractors, but there was one DOT truck there (saw on the other side after crossing the bridge). Me and the truck hogged the yellow line, the workers were on either side trying to get skinny.
Of their 4-5 work trucks (all on the other side from where I started), not a one had flashers/ambers/etc on, either.
If I was working on the highway, I'd make damn sure I could be seen, and folks knew I was up ahead.
Death wish, anybody?
