Changes to Bridge Weight Limits
Clearfield - As the result of recent inspections, PennDOT has lowered posted weight limit restrictions for two bridges in Potter County.
The Kettle Creek Bridge (State Route 2001) in Abbott Township is now posted for a 12-ton weight limit for single vehicles and an 18-ton weight limit for combination vehicles. The previous postings were for 13 and 18 ton. The bridge is located 5 miles from Germania along Rauch Road, which is a township road. Vehicles exceeding the weight limit postings will need to use an alternate route.
The postings will remain in place until repairs can be made to the bridge.
PennDOT has also posted weight restrictions on the Teed Hollow Bridge (over Jamison Run) on State Route 1021 in Hector Township. The bridge is located south of the Route 49 intersection and the village of Elmer. The Teed Hollow bridge is now posted for a 17-ton weight limit for single vehicles and a 31-ton weight limit for combination vehicles. The previous posting was for 28 and 40 tons. Vehicles exceeding the weight limit postings will need to use an alternate route. The postings will remain in place until repairs can be made to the bridge.
The Kettle Creek Bridge was originally built in 1914; is 38 feet long and carries an average of 65 vehicles per day. The Teed Hollow Bridge was built in 1938; is 18 feet long and carries an average of 30 vehicles per day.
