PRICE COUNTY HIGHWAY SPRING WEIGHT LIMITATIONS
Will begin on Thursday, March 5, 2026 at 4:00 pm
Pursuant to Section 349.16 Wisconsin State Statues, the Price County Highway Department will be imposing temporary weight restrictions on various County Trunk Highways effective, Thursday, March 5, 2026. Restrictions will begin at 4:00 pm. Signs will be placed at various intersections advising the public that weight restrictions are in effect on that specific highway.
If melting snow or rain causes thawing at an unexpected rate the restrictions may be imposed earlier, please watch for the signs.
These weight restrictions are for County Trunk Highways only. Any weight restrictions on State, City, Village, or Town roads are managed by each individual municipality. Special concessions may be made on a case-by-case basis through the issuance of a single or multiple trip permit.
These restrictions will remain in place until the highways have regained their strength and the frost has dissipated.
Please note the section of CTH A from USH 8 to Park Street, in the Village of Prentice, has been added to the restricted highways again this year. Overweight vehicles can access the Village of Prentice via CTH X to CTH A.
