Seasonal Weight Restrictions Lifted on County Roads

  
SPOKANE COUNTY, June 4, 2019 – The Spokane County Public Works Department announced today that seasonal weight restrictions have been removed on county roads. 

Typically, each winter the region experiences a freeze-thaw cycle that weakens roadway surfaces and undermines the sub-structures, requiring the implementation of weight restrictions to reduce the amount of damage. Weather conditions vary from year-to-year and dictate the extent of the restrictions and when they go into effect. Normally, these restrictions do not apply to the average car or pickup truck. However, commercial and construction vehicles may need to lighten their loads in order to comply with the restrictions when they are in effect.
