Memory: Seasonal weight restrictions begin on March 7 for La Crosse County, Onalaska Roads,

Seasonal weight restrictions for County Highways in La Crosse County begin on March 7th.

In spring, the soil is saturated with water, which makes it weak and cannot support heavy loads.

Joe Langeberg, Commissioner of the Highway Commissioner of La Crosse County, said that the restrictions will come into force on March 7 at 7 a.m.

Langeberg said that the weight restrictions only apply to the district's trunk roads. Each government agency, including the state, the cities, the villages or the cities, is responsible for its own restrictions.

For La Crosse County, the restrictions are:

Total number of the axes	Maximum gross weight
Two (2) axes	8 tons (16,000 lbs.)
Three (3) or more axes (straight truck)	26,000 lbs.)
Combination vehicles (tractor & trailer)	18 tons (36,000 lbs.)

Langeberg said that weight restrictions could be thawed earlier if rain or melting snow are thawed.

As soon as the frost has dissolved, the restrictions would be lifted.
