SPRING ROAD WEIGHT RESTRICTIONS GO INTO EFFECT TUESDAY MORNING

Spring weight road restrictions on Brown County roads go into effect Tuesday morning at 12:01 am to coincide with weight restrictions imposed by the Minnesota Department of Transportation in the South Zone.  All county roadways are restricted to five, seven, nine or ten tons per axle as indicated by posted signs.  Weight restriction is five tons per axle for gravel roads.  A Brown County paved road not marked by signs is restricted to ten tons.   The limits are imposed to minimize road damage during the spring thaw.
