Propane company better get ready for a lot of stinging.
Both Upper and Lower Macungie Townships are known (NOTORIOUS) for putting the screws to CMV drivers (and companies) for either being on a prohibited road,bridge or in a tunnel! Lower Macungie Township DOT especially has a hard on for trucks!!Flat Earth Trucker, JonJon78, 4mer trucker and 1 other person Thank this. -

That wooden planking looks kinda sketchy for any motorized vehicle,let alone a propane truck.
Realistically,that bridge looks more suited for a bike path!JonJon78 and Flat Earth Trucker Thank this. -
