Comments on: Weight Limits Lowered On Kingsfield Road Bridge, And That’s A Problem For School Buses http://www.northescambia.com/2025/02/weight-limits-lowered-on-kingsfield-road-bridge-and-thats-a-problem-for-school-buses Local News for Molino, Bratt, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill, Cantonment Mon, 06 Apr 2026 20:16:22 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: 2 Cents http://www.northescambia.com/2025/02/weight-limits-lowered-on-kingsfield-road-bridge-and-thats-a-problem-for-school-buses/comment-page-1#comment-561119 2 Cents Mon, 10 Feb 2025 14:57:06 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=575831#comment-561119 @Honest John - There won't be much NEED for enforcement, would be my guess. Those weight limits will mostly only affect commercial vehicles, and the people/companies who own those commercial vehicles aren't going to risk loss of valuable trucks and/or other equipment by driving across a bridge that's marked as unsafe for the weights. As for buses, the school district will have to do the same thing, and re-write all the routes, which will add time-length to every route that used to be able to use the bridge. @Honest John –

Why are you approving more homes (on wetlands that flood) without proper infrastructure? Our elected officials have dropped the ball and will continue to as long as there is no accountability. This part of our community is now the largest and most lucrative in tax dollars (which are going where?) but is getting the absolute least in return on that money.
