Weight restrictions end Friday for southern Wisconsin highways
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) is ending Spring Thaw Class II and Posted Road restrictions for about 15 counties of Zones 4-5 on Friday, April 11 at 12:01 a.m. Class II and Posted Road restrictions will end in Zones 1-3 when conditions warrant.
Class II roads include about 1,400 miles of state highways susceptible to damage from heavy trucks during the spring thaw period as frost leaves the ground. Further information can be found online for divisible load permits and non-divisible load permits.
The department maintains an interactive map for seasonal weight restrictions. Haulers with specific questions can contact WisDOT’s Oversize/Overweight Permits Unit at (608) 266-7320 or visit the oversize/overweight permits website.
