Weight restrictions will be lifted at midnight Tuesday April 16, 2024 on the following highways:

  • WIS 55, Forest County, from Argonne Street to Michigan State Line.
  • WIS 122, Iron County , from WIS 77 to Michigan State Line.

Seasonal weight restrictions (springtime posted roads) are placed on specific highways during the spring thaw period. The restrictions are added to prevent damage to the pavement structure.
