Twenty-two Lancaster County CBs Get 'Headache Bars'

 

Lancaster, PA, July 12, 2012 - Large trucks driving through any of the 22 Lancaster County-owned covered bridges had better learn to duck.

The county is installing "headache bars" to keep oversized trucks out of historic bridges. These are wooden beams suspended by chains from the tops of each entrance to a bridge.

County workers can install the beams themselves at a cost of $150 per bridge, cheap when compared to the expense required to repair damage to supports and siding done by oversized trucks.
