Honorable Ray Prince, Chairman

Notification of Required Bridge Posting
CR 319 (Cranford Road) over Tired Creek
Structure ID 131-5054-0

Dear Chairman Prince:

Stanley Elkins of your county was verbally advised on July 14, 2026, by Ryan Beasley, Regional Bridge Inspection Specialist, that the load-carrying capacity for this structure has been reduced. This letter will serve as your written notification of the load reduction. This structure should be posted for 6 Tons,
using a Type A sign (attached).

This structure requires a load reduction due to advanced section loss in the piles. For additional information and/or for repair recommendations, please contact Rabindra Koirala at 404-635-2893.

If this structure is located on a school bus route, this change in posting may require a rerouting of school buses. It is the responsibility of the driver of the school bus, as with all Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) holders, to abide by all applicable laws regarding load restrictions on any bridge structure.

Please note that all structures requiring load posting must be properly posted in accordance with the attached methods. Failure to properly post this structure within the required 30 days will result in your county being reported as non-compliant, which could result in a loss of funding. In addition, advance
warning signs should be used in accordance with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, current edition.
