The seasonal weight restrictions placed upon Monroe County highways will be removed effective Monday, April 17, according to the Monroe County Highway Department.
Weight restrictions on individual 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 March 6.
The typical limit on most Monroe County highways is 40 tons total vehicle weight. Permits to transport oversized 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.
