Weight Restriction Announced for Hatch Hill Road in Bradford County
Montoursville, PA – PennDOT is advising motorists in Bradford County that a road is now posted with a permanent, year-round, 10-ton weight restriction.
Route 3004 (Hatch Hill Road) now has the weight restriction between Route 3002 (Overton Road) and Route 220 (Front Street) in New Albany Borough and Albany and Overton townships.
The posting is being made based on a traffic-and-engineering study indicating that this highway may be damaged by vehicles that exceed the restriction.
School buses, emergency vehicles and local-delivery trucks are exempted from the postings.
The restriction is now in effect and the required signs were erected by a PennDOT maintenance crew.
Work on this project will be in accordance with Centers for Disease Control and state Department of Health guidance as well as a project-specific COVID-19 safety plan, which will include protocols for social distancing, use of face coverings, personal and job-site cleaning protocols, management of entries to the jobsite, and relevant training.
Motorists can check conditions on major roadways by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information and access to more than 1,000 traffic cameras.
