CLEARFIELD – PennDOT has posted weight limit restrictions on a small Clearfield County bridge on state Route 729 in Beccaria Township. The Muddy Run Bridge is now posted for a 34-ton weight limit for single vehicles and a 40-ton weight limit for combination vehicles. Any vehicle exceeding the weight limits will need to use an alternate route.
The decision to post weight limits on the bridge was the result of a recent inspection. The Muddy Run Bridge spans Muddy Run on SR 729 between SR 2005 (Elizabeth Street) and SR 2001 (Beaver Dam Road). The bridge was built in 1934; is 24 feet long and carries an average of 553 vehicles per day. The posting for the bridge will remain in place until repairs can be made.
PennDOT reminds motorists they can log on to 511pa.com or call 511 from any phone to check traffic conditions before heading out.
