MATTAPOISETT Expect to see some updated signage around the Arch Bridge on River Road.
Noting an abundance of large trucks crossing the historic bridge, the Mattapoisett Selectmen decided at a Jan. 12 meeting to find a way to alert those drivers that they are not intended to cross.
In 2019, the Board of Selectmen, in collaboration with the Department of Transportation, approved a regulation that banned vehicles exceeding a 2.5 ton carrying capacity from going on the bridge which is noted by signs on both sides of the crossing.
“It took a lot to get the DOT to allow that restriction,” Chairman Paul Silva said. “It should be adhered to.”
