The seasonal weight restrictions placed on Monroe County highways were removed effective Monday, April 7.
The restrictions on each individual highway will remain in effect until the signs have been removed. All weight restrictions on bridges will remain in effect, as posted at the bridge.
Restrictions on vehicle weight are placed each spring to reduce damage while the road base is unstable. This year, the restrictions were posted on March 10.
The typical limit on most Monroe County highways is 40 tons total vehicle weight.
Permits to transport oversize and overweight loads may be requested by submitting an application to the Monroe County Highway Department. Application forms, the policy on vehicle weight restrictions and permits, and a fee schedule may be found on the Monroe County Highway Department website at www.co.monroe.wi.us.
For further information, contact the Monroe County Highway Department by telephone at (608) 269-8740 or via email at highways@co.monroe.wi.us.
