Potter Co. Bridge Weight Limit Lowered
Clearfield – PennDOT has lowered the posted weight limit restriction on a Potter County bridge on Teed Hollow Road in Harrison Township.
The Cowanesque River Bridge is near the Route 49 intersection and the Tioga County line. The bridge is now posted for a 9-ton weight limit. Vehicles exceeding the posted weight limit must use an alternate route. The bridge had been previously posted for a weight limit of 34-tons for single vehicles and 40-tons for combination vehicles. The new, 9-ton posting went into effect April 8.
The decision to post the new weight limit was the result of a recent inspection. The Cowanesque River Bridge was built in 1938; is 65 feet long and carries an average of 62 vehicles per day. The new posting for the bridge will remain in place until further notice.
