February 12, — Effective 8 a.m. today, Thursday, Feb. 12, weight restrictions for commercial truck traffic will be imposed and enforced on state roadways from the southern Michigan border north to and including the entire stretch of US-10 at Ludington in Mason County, east to and including M-25 and the thumb area in Huron County.
There are no restrictions for legal axle weight loads on roads designated as “all-season trunklines.” On routes designated as “seasonal,” there will be a posted reduction of 25 percent for rigid pavements and 35 percent for flexible pavements.
All extended permits will be valid for oversized loads in the weight-restricted area on the restricted routes. Single-trip permits will not be issued for any overweight loads or loads exceeding 14 feet in width on the restricted routes.
