Even as work begins Monday on the Lowries Run Bridge in Emsworth, weight limits will severely limit traffic across another bridge in the borough.

Borough officials were informed Wednesday that the Port Authority bridge along Center Avenue had been inspected recently and “structural deficiencies” discovered. As a result, a 5 ton weight limit will be posted on Friday, May 14.

That weight limit will affect not only Port Authority buses, but firetrucks, school buses and other large vehicles, none of which will be able to cross the bridge.
