So i just hung up with the PA state police motor carriers division. They were returning my call regarding bridge weight limit violations. According to Tr. Pace he has been trying in vain to get a hold of the Twp Highway dpt. for a week now. At my request, he was looking into posted weight limit violations in Damascus Twp. He told me that the Twp was stonewalling him and had no interest in helping him.
In general in order for a bridge weight limit to be enforced it must be posted up to todays standards, an engineering report must be on file for that bridge, and public notice must be made that that bridge will now be enforced with regards to weight limits.
Damascus has failed to upgrade it's bridge signage as modern requirements have evolved and as a result the bridges that are posted with weight limits are not enforceable.
Thanks for posting, keep us up to date and if you have any pictures please send.
