The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has updated the weight limit established on the Route 89 bridge over Hummer Creek in Crawford County. 

The bridge had previously been posted with a weight restriction that allowed for only one truck at a time. The new restriction will limit crossings to 34 tons or 40 tons for combination loads. 

Vehicles exceeding the posted weight limit will be required to use alternate routes. 

PennDOT said the weight restriction was implemented after a routine inspection uncovered deterioration to the 24 ft., steel beam bridge. 

According to PennDOT, the weight restriction will reduce strain on the bridge and will preserve safety until repairs can be made. 

Work on the bridge will be completed in connection with an upcoming project to improve the intersection of Route 77 and Route 8 in Bloomfield Township. 

More information on the weight restriction can be found on PennDOT's website.
