Bridge weight limits impacting response times for Lewis and Clark County first responders

Longer emergency response times could be the result of posted weight limits for some bridges in Lewis and Clark County. The Lewis and Clark County Public Works Department identified a total of 20 weight-restricted bridges throughout the county, many of which were designed more than a century ago, and “things have changed.” During the next year, the county plans to make improvements to multiple bridges intended to increase the weight limits.
