The graceful 789-foot one-lane
bridge that connects Treasure Island to the mainland is often depicted
in drawings and paintings by local artists. For current and historical
views of the bridge, see the photo album.
The
bridge weight limits are posted on
a sign at the mainland entrance to the bridge. Following completion of
the bridge repairs in November 2009, the limits were increased to the
following:
Trucks - 15 tons
Semis and trailers - 27 tons
Concrete trucks - maximum of 3 yards
Loads that exceed the weight
limits will stress the wooden pilings and concrete decking. If you hire a
contractor for building, excavating, septic, or similar work, make
sure your contractor understands and observes the weight limits.
See
Maps & Photos - Bridge Work for pictures of repairs to and
inspections of the bridge.
