5th Annual Wounded Warrior Event Held new Restrictions in Place on Moser Road

at Camp Airy Bridge in Thurmont

Photo by Carol Burger New restrictions went into effect on the Moser Road Bridge in Thurmont
on Friday, June 5, 2015. These restrictions are being implemented pursuant
to recommendations identified in a recent bridge inspection. Weight limits
will be decreased from 25,000 pounds to 12,000 pounds for a single unit and
from 46,000 pounds to 21,000 pounds for a combination unit. In addition,
the travel lane of the bridge will be narrowed to a single lane only. A stop sign
will be in place on the west side of the bridge, immediately past the Thurmont
Regional Library. A yield sign will remain in place on the east side of the
bridge.
The Town of Thurmont is in the process of securing bids to replace
the bridge. Thurmont Mayor John Kinnaird stated, “We concur with the
recommended restrictions and are currently working on requests for proposals
to have the bridge replaced as soon as possible.”
