Montoursville, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is advising motorists in Northumberland County that the bridge carrying Route 2010 (Shamrock Road) over the Shamokin Creek in Shamokin Township, Northumberland County, will be restricted to - bridge limited to one truck.
The restriction is being made based on a recent inspection indicating that the bridge girders are deficient.
School buses, emergency vehicles and local-delivery trucks are below the legal load limit and will therefore be able to cross the structure one truck at a time.
The restriction will be in effect once the required signs are erected by a PennDOT maintenance crew.
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. 511PA is also available through a smartphone application for iPhone and Android devices, by calling 5-1-1, or by following local alerts on X.
