Hawaiian officials plan to change weight limit restrictions for bridges on the islands of Hawaii, Maui, Oahu, and Kauai after reassessing how it calculates bridge weight restrictions due to the effect of heavy trucks, the Honolulu Star Advertiser reports.

According to the news agency, Hawaii Department of Transportation (HDOT) officials don’t expect the changes to affect passenger vehicles, but they may affect emergency vehicles, buses, and tractor trailers. Officials are coordinating with the public agencies on vehicle access to those areas, but commercial trucks should apply for an overload permit, lighten their loads, or take alternate routes.

HDOT officials say the following bridges have new, lower weight limits, although some of the weight restrictions may be removed or reduced after additional testing, analysis, or bridge repair projects:

Oahu

  • Nuuanu Stream Bridge, westbound on Nimitz Highway between River and Awa streets, 28-ton weight limit.
  • North (lower) Poamoho Stream Bridge, on Kaukonahuna Road (Route 930) northeast of Hukilau Loop, 12-ton weight limit.

Hawaii island

  • Ninole Stream Bridge on Hawaii Belt Road (Route 11) Milepost 56.5, 13-ton weight limit. A proposed project would replace the existing deficient timber bridge to meet current design standards for roadway width, load capacity, bridge railing, and transitions and bridge approaches.
  • Hilea Stream Bridge on Hawaii Belt Road (Route 11) Milepost 57.6, 13-ton weight limit. A proposed project would improve the safety and reliability of the timber bridge through rehabilitation or replacement by addressing bridge width, load capacity, bridge railing and transitions.
  • Waiaka Stream Bridge on Hawaii Belt Road (Route 19) Milepost 58.8, 15-ton weight limit.

Maui

  • Honokohau Stream Bridge on Kahekili Highway (Route 30) Milepost 35.8, 16-ton weight limit.
  • Papanahoa Stream Bridge on Kahekili Highway (Route 30) Milepost 41.25, 15-ton weight limit.
  • Makani No. 132 culvert, on Makani Road between Apana and Kaupea streets, 13-ton weight limit.
  • Maliko No. 48 Bridge, on Makawao Avenue between Kokomo and Kee roads, 6-ton weight limit.
  • Kaupea No. 134 Bridge, on Kaupea Street between Puia Place and Haele Place, 10-ton weight limit.

Kauai

  • Hanapepe River Bridge on Kaumualii Highway (Route 50) in Hanapepe Town, 34-ton weight limit. A proposed project would address bridge width, load capacity, and more to improve the safety and reliability of the bridge through rehabilitation or replacement.

PHOTOS: The Equipment and Crowds of Bauma 2019 (Part 2)

More than any other trade show on the planet, Bauma, hosted every three years in Munich, Germany, is a walking show. After spending nearly a whole week at this year’s show, I checked my Apple Watch activity stats and found that I averaged nearly 10 miles of walking each day at the show thanks to countless trips up and down the “expressway” that cuts through the Munich convention center’s 18-building layout and in and out of the gargantuan outdoor exhibition area. According to show managers, a record 620,000+ people from more than 200 countries visited this year’s show. Apart from the crowds this was the largest Bauma yet in sheer size with more than 3,700 exhibitors spread across 2.1 million square feet of indoor exhibit space and an additional 4.5 million square feet of outdoor space.

Deere dealer West Side Tractor plans $14M HQ in Illinois

A rendering of the future West Side Tractor headquarters in Lisle, Illinois. West Side Tractor is planning a $14 million headquarters in the same town where the family-owned company was founded in 1962. The John Deere construction and forestry equipment dealer has outgrown its 3.5-acre site in Naperville, Illinois, and is renovating two former auto dealerships on 11 acres in Lisle, where the Benck family started its business. The new site will allow the company to double its building space to 75,000 square feet over the current headquarters, once renovations are completed. Located at 3300 Ogden Avenue near Interstates 88 and 355, about 5 miles from the current site, it will not only consist of the corporate headquarters but will offer equipment sales and rentals, parts and service. It will also help bring new life and investment to a site that had closed due to the 2008 recession, the company says. “We’re proud of our roots and are thrilled to be able to reinvigorate this part
