Effective immediately, the bridge on County Highway M over Sleighton Creek, 1 mile north of Highway 71 and north of Wilton, will be limited to a 20-ton vehicle weight.

Signs will be posted on the bridge, with advance notice signs at Highway 71 and County Highways A and MM.

A recent inspection of the bridge revealed deterioration and damage that limits the structure’s capacity to safely carry loads over the new limit. The 41-foot long concrete structure, constructed in 1968, is being scheduled for replacement.
