The University Ave bridge in Lowell currently has a weight limit of 13 tons, however soon the weight limit will likely be restricted to just 4 tons. This will allow only passenger cars and trucks to use the span. A hearing was scheduled on Nov 20th to discuss the increase in restriction, and the change needs approval from the Massachusetts Highway Department to take effect, however according to City Manager Bernie Lynch, city officials will be enforcing the restriction on an emergency basis almost immediately. Repair work on the bride is likely to begin in late winter or early spring, and may require the bridge to be closed for as much as a month.
A multi-vehical wreck in Lowell has left seven people injured. A Ford F-150 pickup truck crossed lanes on Willard Street, hit the curb, and launched itself on top of a red Chevy Blazer stopped at a red light on Bridge Street. This caused the Checy Blazer to then hit the gray Honda Civic, stopped behind it at the light. The man driving the f-150 was speeding to leave the scene of an accident he had just caused a few minutes earlier, where he rear-ended another vehicle and hit an LRTA bus. We await news of if the man driving the F-150 will be facing criminal charges, as he was taken to the hospital still unconscious after the accident.
