Seasonal Weight Restrictions Lifted On County Roads
Spokane County’s Engineering and Roads Department announced has lifted seasonal weight restrictions on county roads, effective immediately. During the annual cycle of freezing overnight temperatures, followed by warmer days and precipitation, roadway surfaces and the structures beneath the surface become weakened. As a result, roads are vulnerable to damage and weight restrictions reduces the need for increased road maintenance and auto repairs later.
Seasonal road restrictions usually go into effect in late February and last approximately six weeks, depending on weather.
