ReadyMontco - Upper Hanover Alert

This is a message from ReadyMontco

The Township received the following information from PennDOT. It is our understanding that it is now actively being implemented.
"This is to inform you that the bridge carrying Church Road (SR 1042) over Branch Perkiomen Creek (Upper Hanover Township, Montgomery County) will soon carry a reduced weight limit of 16 Tons (32,000 lbs.) except combinations 26 tons (54,000 lbs.) under Section §4902(a) of the PA Vehicle Code. An engineering study determined the weight limit based on its structural condition, taking into account the extensive deterioration of this bridge. All overweight vehicles requesting permission to cross this bridge must fill out Application Form M-4902 for review and approval, and submit it to: "Pennsylvania Department of Transportation," Engineering District 6-0, Bridge Unit, 7000 Geerdes Blvd., King of Prussia, PA 19406, *Attn: Steve Bartkovich, P.E. (Acting District Bridge Engineer)

We will be posting the Permit Exemption Applications and forms from PennDOT on our Website.
