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.
FROM THE BELTRAMI COUNTY HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
BRUCE HASBARGEN, COUNTY ENGINEER
