SPRING ROAD RESTRICTIONS

Seasonal road restrictions will go into effect at 12:01 a.m. on March 21, 2018 for the North Central Frost Zone and 12:01 a.m. on March 22, 2018 for the North Frost Zone. South of Hwy 2 and west of Hwy 89 is within the North Central zone. The remainder of the County is in the North frost zone.

Gravel surfaced roads will be posted to 5 tons per axle and bituminous highways will be posted to either 5, 7, 9, or 10 tons per axle. A map of the Beltrami County road postings is on the County Highway Department Road Restrictions webpage; http://www.co.beltrami.mn.us/Departments/Highway/Road%20Restrictions.html

During the spring season the structure of the roadway is weakened and more vulnerable to damage. Restrictions limit the legal gross axle weights of vehicles and reduce the amount of damage they do to the roadways. No permits for overweight axle loads will be issued during this time.

To report a suspected overweight vehicle, please contact the Sheriff's Office at 333-9111 or the Highway Department at 333-8173.
