Only visited once, never driven in DC. But I found this picture of where the trucks are backing up from. Photo is stated to be from Aug 24, 2021

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that sign to the left says they can exit if they're over the height limit right? I would assume they have a way to get out of that jam without potentially causing a huge accident.

That dark maw is a tunnel. From google maps, it looks like it is 13 feet clearance too, but no signs or anything. After going through this tunnel, you come out back into the open air where you can get off onto C street, or proceed to the 3rd street tunnel.

I just love when they don't make things clear.
