Montoursville, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is advising motorists in Sullivan County that the entire length of Ellis Road (Route 4006) in Fox and Elkland townships has been posted with a permanent, year-round, 10-ton weight restriction.
The posting was 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.
Signs are now in place and the 10-ton weight restriction is in effect. A press release was distributed on November 6, 2025, advising the public that the roadway would be posted in the upcoming weeks.
