“A study by the Coalition Against Bigger Trucks has a warning for Congress…don’t approve legislation to increase the maximum truck weight or length limits on federal highways.

The Coalition had similar statistics on 2023 when it said any increase to 88,000 pound trucks would put 2,854 bridges in Oklahoma at risk and the replacement costs would total $1,017,901, 368.

A move to 91,000 pound trucks would damage 2,961 Oklahoma bridges and their replacement cost would total $1,130,386,195. If 97,000 pound trucks were approved, 3,482 bridges in Oklahoma would be damaged and their replacement cost would be $1,443,786,279.”
