Ploium Rd NW repair work March 31 2011 north of Solway MN in Beltrami county

The Beltrami County Sheriff's Office of Emergency Management advises that repair work will be conducted on a 

portion of Ploium Rd NW, approximately 400 yards west of Lammers Rd NW, located west of Bemidji and north of Solway, 

MN on March 31, 2011.  Gravel will be hauled in and grading conducted in order to mitigate water over the roadway.  

Construction will begin at 7 AM on Thursday, March 31 and should be completed by noon.  Citizens may see gravel trucks 

in the area. Be advised that the weight limits that normally apply to trucks hauling on roads this time of year DO NOT apply 

to trucks that are in the employ of any government agencies or local officials who are repairing roads that constitute a 

hazard to citizens.  This is part of the mandates that are allowed during flood season. 

 Use caution when traveling in the area.

BELTRAMI COUNTY ANNOUNCES SPRING ROAD RESTRICTIONS

Spring load restrictions will go into effect at 12:01 a.m. on Friday, March 18, 2011 on all County Highways.

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 axel.  A schedule of road postings is available on the County Website, www.co.beltrami.mn.us

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.  

Your cooperation is expected and appreciated.  Anyone wishing to report suspected overweight vehicles please call the Beltrami County Sheriff's Office at 333-9111 or the Beltrami County Highway Department at 333-8173.
