Load limits on many Cook County and local township roads are restricted during the spring season per Minnesota Statute 169.87. This statute states that paved roads are restricted to 10 tons per axle and gravel roads to five tons per axle unless posted otherwise.

Cook County roads are posted accordingly, and more information can be found by clicking here.

WTIP’s Mark Abrahamson spoke with Cook County Highway Engineer Krysten Foster about this spring's road restrictions.
