Flathead County enacts seasonal weight restrictions on county roads

Weight restrictions for trucks on Flathead County roads are now in effect.  

Flathead County commissioners on Wednesday approved seasonal weight restrictions for select county roads in response to recent rapid temperature fluctuations and precipitation. 

Depending on whether the vehicle is single axle or tandem axle, trucks will be limited to 350 to 400 pounds per inch of tire. According to the approved resolution, total weight can range from 14,000 to 32,000 pounds, again depending on the number of axles.
