Bridge Weight Restrictions
When a load rating analysis is performed and a bridge does not have adequate capacity for State or Federal legal vehicles and/or emergency vehicles, the bridge is required to be posted for a weight restriction. Vehicles used for analysis are contained in the Rating Aids available on the Load Rating website under Publications.
