INGHAM COUNTY ROAD WEIGHT

LIMITS WILL BE LIFTED ON MONDAY, APRIL 5, 2010.

The Ingham County Road Commission announced today that truck weight limits on county roads will be lifted at 12:01 a.m., on Monday, April 5, 2010. The temporary weight restrictions help to reduce road damage caused by winter thaw and heavy vehicles.

Truck drivers should check their Truck Operator Maps to determine how each county road is classified for normal weight restrictions. Truck Operator Maps detailing weight restrictions and unrestricted all-season routes are available at the Ingham County Road Commission Permits Department. Call (517) 676-2200 for more information. The Ingham County Road Commission’s web site can also be accessed for weight restriction information at www.inghamcrc.org. Information for surrounding counties can be accessed at www.micountyroads.org.

"We appreciate the cooperation we’ve had from truckers in observing spring weight restrictions this year," said William Conklin, Managing Director for the Road Commission.

The Ingham County Road Commission is responsible for the repair, maintenance and traffic safety of more than 1250 miles of roads throughout Ingham County.
