The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) North Central Region announced the seasonal posting of weight limits on area state highways.

The weight restrictions are 6 tons gross load for single axle vehicles and 10 tons gross load for tandem axle vehicles (any two axles under 8 feet apart). The maximum gross weight is 24 tons. Weight restrictions will be effective at noon on Monday, March 13th on the following highways:

  • WIS 54, Wood County, from West Wood County line to WIS 80;
  • WIS 54, Wood County, from South Junction WIS 80 to 1 mile West of Junction WIS 73;
  • WIS 173, Wood County, from North Junction WIS 80 to Wood County Road G.

Seasonal weight restrictions (springtime posted roads) are placed on specific highways during the spring thaw period. The restrictions are added to prevent damage to the pavement structure. In the event of unpredicted cold weather, the postings in each county may be delayed as conditions require and will become effective at the discretion of the State Highway Engineer.
