🛑 TRAFFIC & SAFETY ALERT: New Weight Restriction on Scotts Lane Bridge 🛑

Following the recent completion of a Bridge Engineering Assistance Program (BEAP) study conducted by the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT), a new weight limit has been established for the bridge on Scotts Lane in Ralls County.

ℹ️ New Limit: 5 TONS

To ensure public safety, this bridge is now strictly restricted to vehicles weighing 5 tons or less.

📍 Exact Location: The bridge is located precisely where Scotts Lane and Highway O meet.

🗺️ Map Link: https://maps.app.goo.gl/P9vz5K6TbpYpbdCy8

🚜 What this means for our community:

• Passenger vehicles, standard SUVs, and light pickup trucks are generally safe to cross (always check your vehicle weight if unsure).
• School buses, emergency vehicles, heavy agricultural equipment, and commercial dump trucks must seek alternative routes immediately.

New signage will be posted at the bridge approach. Please plan your travel routes accordingly and help spread the word to neighbors, delivery drivers, and local farmers.
