Montoursville, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is advising motorists in Sullivan County that Route 4009 in Elkland Township will be posted with a permanent, year-round, 10-ton weight restriction. Route 4009 is located between Routes 154 and 4016 (Campbellville Road).
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. It will take effect once weight limit signs are installed in the next couple weeks.
School buses, emergency vehicles and local-delivery trucks are exempted from the postings.
The restriction will be in effect once the required signs are erected by a PennDOT maintenance crew in the upcoming weeks.
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.
