The Minnesota Department of Transportation will end spring load restrictions (SLR) in the North-Central frost zone on Friday, April 12, at 12:01 am.
Spring load restrictions have already ended in the South, Southeast, Metro, and Central zones. Truckers are advised to check with local agencies prior to increasing any weights on their routes. The sign erected on the roadway governs the load limit in effect. Start and end dates and other load limit information are shown at mndot.gov/loadlimits.
Overweight permits for more than 80,000 pounds of gross vehicle weight will continue, and new permits will be issued if all axle and group weights are legal (axle weight limits).
MnDOT will report start and end dates on its 24-hour automated message center at 1-800-723-6543 for the U.S. and Canada, and locally at 651-366-5400 for the Minneapolis/St. Paul area.
