HistoricBridges "While the bridge has a roadway width that would usually be classified as one-lane, this bridge carries two narrow lanes of traffic. The safety of motorists is ensured by enforcing a slow 15mph speed limit and also eliminating trucks from using the bridge....A unique benefit of being owned by the toll commission, this bridge has its own bridgetender who guards the bridge against truck drivers who either cannot read or believe that weight limit signs are a form of joke. Many historic bridges have been damaged or destroyed by trucks who ignored weight limit signs and attempted to drive over the bridge." |
