What: 3-Ton Weight Restriction Imposed
When: Effective immediately, Monday, February 25, 2008
Where: Dexter-Chelsea Road Bridge in Lima Township
Why: Due to severe deterioration of bridge beams
Background
The Washtenaw County Road Commission is immediately imposing a 3-TON weight restriction on the westbound lane only of the Dexter-Chelsea Road Bridge over an unnamed tributary in Section 1 of Lima Township. The eastbound lane will remain unposted. The bridge is located between Wylie Road and Parker Road.
The reason for the weight restriction is due to the severe deterioration of the bridge beams. The preferred DETOUR ROUTE for vehicles exceeding the 3 TON weight limit is Parker Road to Jackson Road to Dancer Road.
The Road Commission thanks motorists in advance for their patience as this structural problem is reviewed and addressed.
