Weight limit changed on East Putney Ferry Road bridge
PUTNEY - Town officials recently received a notice from the Vermont Agency of Transportation about a change in the weight limit on Bridge #32 on Highway #52 - also known as East Putney Ferry Road.
The Agency suggested town officials lower the weight limit on the bridge from 10 tons to 5 tons.
At the Sept. 13 regular Selectboard meeting, Board members unanimously voted to approve the change. Interim Town Manager Chip Stearns will contact the Agency of Transportation with the information.
The bridge “is looking worn,” noted Selectboard Chair Scott Henry.
Highway department workers will put up signs near the bridge to announce the new weight limit.
