Spring Load Limits Coming Off

Spring truck weight restrictions on state highways will end April 19 for Minnesota's Central frost zone. Load restrictions remain in place for the state's north-central and north frost zones.

Mn/DOT limits truck weights to prevent damage to roads weakened by the spring thaw.

Spring Load Restriction dates and the six frost zones in Minnesota are listed on the Mn/DOT Web site at www.mrr.dot.state.mn.us. Click on "Seasonal Load Limits," then click on "Spring Load Restrictions" for the most up-to-date information.
