CLEARFIELD — The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) lifted a posted weight restriction on a Route 4017 (Shay Town Road) bridge spanning Bell Run five miles south of Shinglehouse Borough in Sharon Township.
The 28-ton weight restriction for single vehicles and 36 tons for combination vehicles, in place since 2019, was lifted following the completion of bridge preservation work earlier this construction season.
This 42-foot structure, originally built in 1953, carries an average of 250 vehicles daily. The preservation work completed earlier this year improved the bridge’s overall condition rating from poor to satisfactory.
