Spring road restrictions to end May 17 

Spring load restrictions in the North Zone, which covers the vast majority of St. Louis County, will end Wednesday, May 17, at 12:01 a.m. The weight restrictions have been in place since March 22. Certain roads may continue to have load limits based on their particular condition. Signs will clearly mark those roads. 

The North Zone includes almost all of St. Louis County, from north of US Highway 2 and east of State Highway 33. The far southwest corner of the County, south of US Highway 2 and west of State Highway 33, is in the North Central Zone. Restrictions there ended on May 1. Information on zone boundaries can be found on the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) website at mndot.gov/loadlimits.

The ending dates for spring load restrictions vary each year based on how weather is affecting roadway strength. These dates are established by monitoring roadway strength as weather conditions change.
