Rijkswaterstaat has replaced the 3.5‑ton weight limit on the bridge at Roosteren with specific prohibition signs. The new boards display a ban for trucks (C7b), buses, and slow‑moving motor vehicles such as tractors (C8). The change is intended to meet the same restriction while making the limits clearer for users and easier to enforce. Emergency services and Arriva public‑transport vehicles remain exempt. Police will enforce the new signs and closely monitor compliance. For vehicles that cannot cross, detour routes are marked with signage. The modification addresses fatigue in the bridge’s steel; the weight limit helps keep the structure safe. Further condition assessments are underway in cooperation with the province of Limburg and the municipalities of Sittard‑Geleen and Echt‑Susteren.
