The weight limit on the Enslow Park Bridge in Huntington, West Virginia, has been reduced from 33 tons to nine tons because of the bridge’s deteriorating condition.

The lower limit substantially reduces the weight permitted on the bridge. School buses and city vehicles are among those affected, though details about which vehicles or specific routes are involved were not provided. The change means student transportation routes serving the neighborhood have been adjusted, but the revised routes and the number of students affected were not specified.
The information provided does not identify when the restriction took effect, who made the decision, or what assessments led to the reduced limit. It also does not state whether repairs are planned, how long the restriction is expected to remain in place, or whether any other traffic restrictions apply.
The bridge’s deteriorating condition was given as the reason for the change. No inspection findings, repair schedule, or additional details about the bridge’s condition were provided. The available information also does not describe the transportation arrangements now being used for students in the Enslow Park neighborhood.
For now, the stated weight limit is nine tons, compared with the previous limit of 33 tons.
