When: Conoy Township supervisors meeting, May 13, with in-person and conference call options.
What happened: During a public hearing at the start of the meeting, township supervisors voted to place weight limit restrictions through mid-2022 on two small, structurally deficient bridges on Governor Stable Road near Route 441.
Why it matters: The supervisors limited traffic to vehicles that weigh less than five tons on the bridges, which carry motorists over Snitz Creek along the narrow two-lane road between River and Keener roads near Falmouth. The move allows passenger vehicles, most of which weigh far less than 10,000 pounds, to continue using Governor Stable Road while keeping large delivery vehicles off the bridges.

The project, which the state Department of Transportation is overseeing, suggests cars use Beattys Toll Gate Road and Stackstown Road, and bicycles and pedestrians use South Second and Race streets in Bainbridge. Trucks should use routes 230 and 743. Residents are worried trucks and cars will not follow the signs and drive through Bainbridge, causing safety issues.
