Bridge restriction announced

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation on Monday announced a vehicle restriction on the Route 957 bridge over Brokenstraw Creek in Columbus Township. The bridge, which is located between Erie and Weber streets in Columbus, is now restricted to one truck at a time. The restriction was implemented after a routine inspection uncovered deterioration to the bridge. PennDOT said the restriction will reduce strain on the bridge until repairs or a replacement can occur. The weight restriction was implemented after a routine inspection uncovered deterioration to the 96-foot bridge. The bridge was built in 1955 and is classified as being in poor condition. About 1,800 vehicles use the bridge daily, on average, PennDOT said.
