Weight limits begin on county roads

Seasonal weight limits on select county roads in Shawano County went into effect March 11.

Haulers will need to watch for the signs restricting load limits. A list of the posted roads is available at www.co.shawano.wi.us/.

The weight restrictions are 6 tons for a single axle and 10 tons for a tandem axle, with a maximum gross weight of 26 tons.

Seasonal weight restrictions are placed on specific highways during the spring thaw period. The restrictions are placed to prevent damage to the pavement structure and extend the life of the pavement.
