Chippewa County Seasonal Road Restrictions to Begin

Seasonal load restrictions will begin at 12:01 AM on Monday (March 3, 2025).

The restrictions will be effective countywide.

Seasonal road restrictions protect roads during the spring thaw, when road strength is at its lowest point of the year.

By state law, all non-posted county paved roads are open to a normal 10-ton per axle load limit. Also by state law, all non-posted county gravel roads and township roads are restricted to 5-ton per axle load limitation.
