End dates announced for spring load restrictions on St. Louis County roads
Spring load restrictions will be removed in two phases for St. Louis County roads. For roads in the North-Central Zone, which includes the southwest corner of the county - roads south of US Highway 2 and west of State Highway 33 - restrictions will be lifted Friday, May 2, at 12:01 a.m. For roads in the North Zone, which covers the remainder of the County, restrictions will remain in place until Monday, May 12, at 12:01 a.m.
Even with the lifting of restrictions, some limited county roads - most of them with gravel surfaces - may continue to be posted with weight restrictions due to their individual condition. For the convenience of drivers of heavier vehicles, the county will post and maintain a map on its website showing which county roads continue to have weight restrictions enforced. The map, along with other information can be found online at stlouiscountymn.gov/roadrestrictions.
For updates on these county roads, or for any other questions, people are encouraged to call their nearest Public Works Maintenance Facility. The locations include: Pike Lake – (218) 625-3800; Hibbing – (218) 312-8150; Virginia – (218) 742-9800; and Cook – (218) 361-7920.
