The Callahan Tunnel in Boston was temporarily closed Friday when an overheight truck got stuck, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation said Friday.

Video from MassDOT shows the truck entering the tunnel, then backing up as the driver realized the vehicle was getting stuck.

The tunnel houses Route 1A and brings traffic north to Logan Airport and East Boston.

This comes as the Sumner Tunnel, another main artery in the area, remains closed for an extensive construction project.

The tunnel was reopened by Friday afternoon.
