Wright County Government Implements Spring Weight Restrictions From March 9

From the Wright County Government:

March 5, 2020

Spring load restrictions (SLR) in the CENTRAL frost zone, which includes Wright County, will begin Monday, March 9, 2020 at 12:01 AM.

Overweight permits for more than 80,000 pound gross vehicle weight will continue and new permits will be issued if all axle and group weights are legal (axle weight limits).

Full-summer overweight permits can be issued, during the spring load restriction period, for travel on the interstate system only.

Middle-range overweight permits become available within each frost zone when spring load restrictions are lifted. Full-summer overweight permits become available two to three weeks after spring load restrictions are lifted.

Ending dates for spring load restrictions are variable and based on how weather is affecting roadway strength.
