When spring arrives, the frozen aggregate base and the soil under the aggregate base thaw out and become saturated. Under these conditions the pavement weakens, and the capacity of the roadway is reduced. It is during this time that heavy vehicles driving on the roadway damage the roadway more than any other time of the year.
The reason for the restrictions is to protect our roads and keep the cost of road repair down for all taxpayers. We ask all of our residents and business owners to keep an eye out for large trucks using the roads during this period. If you see them using a restricted road, please call 9-1-1 to report it immediately. Help protect our roads!
SPRING ROAD RESTRICTIONS HAVE BEEN LIFTED ON MOST ROADS MAY 16, 2022!
