US 13 weigh and inspection station
The weigh station property footprint was not enlarged as part of the modernization. All improvements fit within the existing right-of-way.
Harkins Contracting Inc., of Salisbury, was the primary contractor performing the construction work. The US 13 Truck Weigh and Inspection Station is one of two remaining scale houses constructed in 1955. It has been operated by Maryland State Police since 1967.
