DETROIT LAKES (KDLM) – Spring Load Restrictions begin today for North and North Central Minnesota.
All gravel surfaced roads will be restricted to 5 tons per axle. All bituminous surfaced roads will be posted to 5, 7, 9 or 10 tons per axle.
During the spring season the structure of the roadway is weakened and more vulnerable to damage. Restrictions limit the legal gross axle weights of vehicles and reduce the amount of damage they do to the roadways. No permits for overweight axle loads will be issued during this time.
Anyone wishing to report suspected overweight vehicles is encouraged to call the local Sheriff’s Department.
