You really should be asking your county road department this question. If you want internet advise we can give it to you but we are not your local law officer.

So is this a dead end road or is there another way in???????? That makes all the difference.

They make 2 kinds of weight signs. Yellow for caution and white for law in stone. If you go over a white sign bridge and break it you bought it. The sign will also have a different weight for straight trucks and trailers if it applies to this bridge.

I live on a dead end road that is posted. Our road department says we can bring what we need to in or out but he would just like us to be advised that the bridge is not concrete. If we can cut the load a little he would be happy.
It has a yellow sign.

Now with that said a bridge will hold a lot more than its rating. You need to take into account that you may have 2 trucks on the bridge at the same time. 1 each way. This is why the log and milk trucks can get across them and not break them. You may go across this bridge for years along with all the other local traffic but one day you may also be the one poor sucker it breaks on.
