CLEARFIELD – PennDOT is advising motorists in Clearfield County that two roads will soon be posted with permanent, year-round, 10-ton gross weight restrictions.
The following state highways will have the weight restrictions along the sections noted:
- SR 1011 (Piper Highway) from the intersection of State Route 879 in Karthaus Township to the Clearfield/Cameron County line in Covington Township.
- SR 2023 (Glen Richey Highway) from the intersection of State Route 3007 (Bloomington/Glen Richey Road) in Lawrence Township to the intersection of State Route 153 in Lawrence Township.
The postings are being put into place based on roadway inspections indicating that these highways may be damaged by the use of vehicles that exceed the restriction.
School buses and local delivery trucks are exempted from the postings.
The postings will take effect as soon as the required signage is erected. A PennDOT maintenance crew will begin placing the road posting signs on or after May 4.
