Please be advised that the bridge located on VT Route 31, Poultney, VT (at the interconnection of Grove Street and South Street) has been reopened to vehicular traffic.
⚠️ The bridge has an 8 TON WEIGHT LIMIT / NO TRUCKS are permitted on the bridge. ⚠️
The bridge is signed as a one-lane bridge, with the lane down the middle of the bridge. Each side of the bridge is controlled by concrete barriers and stop signs. The speed limit on the bridge is 10 MPH.
There is no exception to the 8 TON weight limit, even for emergency vehicles. If trucks attempt to, or use the bridge, the bridge will be closed permanently, and the detour route will have to be in place until a temporary bridge is installed (tentatively December, 2025, or thereafter). Thank you for the public’s cooperation and understanding in this matter. Town of Poultney.
