Bridge Postings in Potter County
On Wednesday, May 27, PennDOT will post weight limit changes on two more Potter County bridges. Effective Wednesday, PennDOT will post the Sweden Valley Bridge on Route 4031 in Sweden Township. The bridge will be posted for a 19-ton weight limit for single vehicles and a 35-ton weight limit for combination vehicles. The Sweden Valley Bridge spans Lyman Creek, near the intersection with Route 6.
Also on Wednesday, PennDOT will post the Oswayo Creek Bridge on Route 4017 (Sunnyside Road) in Shinglehouse Borough. The bridge will be posted for a 19-ton weight limit for single vehicles and a 35-ton weight limit for combination vehicles. The Oswayo Creek Bridge spans Oswayo Creek in Shinglehouse. Vehicles exceeding the posted limits on either bridge will need to use an alternate route.
The decision to post weight limits on the bridges was the result of recent inspections. The Sweden Valley Bridge was built in 1946, is 14 feet long and carries an average of 176 vehicles per day. The Oswayo Creek Bridge was built in 1938, is 8.33 feet long and carries an average of 334 vehicles per day. The postings for both bridges will remain in place until repairs can be made.
