But my truck isn’t pictured as far as axle combination.Another Canadian driver Thanks this.

Didn't notice the bottom one wasn't 5.
But if 2 was 20T and 4 was 60K I would assume 80K would be legal with proper bridged axles.
That being said there is no gross limit indicated and would hate to end up at the bottom.Last edited: Feb 14, 2023

Then you need to break out some paper and your crayons and add to the sign.

Seriously, I think they intended single vehicle, combination vehicle, and doubles. And considering the doubles is only 1T higher than the middle, I would assume GVWR for a 5 axle vehicle us 29T. I think you're in IL, so there is a length restriction as well so even if you ignore the GVWR and focus on actual wieght it wont matter if you're under 29T, you'll still get a ticket. You can fight it on signage, but doubt you'd win.Another Canadian driver Thanks this. -
I agree on 29T gross max.
Bad signage though.Another Canadian driver Thanks this. -
Think I know where that is, it'll hold 45 ton just fine.Another Canadian driver Thanks this.

Just drive real fast and you will make it most of the way across before it collapses.
Another Canadian driver and Rubber duck kw Thank this. -
It’s in southeast Nebraska. But there are no detour signs anywhere around telling you to take a different route. The only signs showing the limits are right next to the bridge within a mile.Another Canadian driver Thanks this.

Yea I've gone across that one once or twice, it'll be fine.Another Canadian driver Thanks this.

I’m not real worried about falling through, I’m questioning the signage.Another Canadian driver Thanks this.
