Lawrence County – A recent inspection of the Missouri Route 266 bridge over Billies Creek 0.4 miles west of Route Z near Halltown revealed deteriorating conditions prompting an immediate need to restrict weight limits on the bridge, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.
Single unit tandem rear axle trucks will be limited to 15 tons. All other trucks will be limited to 25 tons.
The legal maximum weight limit for vehicles in Missouri is 40 tons.
The bridge was built in 1923 as part of old Route 66 and carries approximately 500 vehicles a day.
MoDOT is considering options for replacing the bridge.
