Seasonal load limits and spring weight restrictions will begin in Chisago County on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, at 12:01 a.m. These measures are put in place to protect roadways during the spring thaw when pavement is more vulnerable to damage from heavy vehicles.

The county has provided additional resources for those seeking more information. A fact sheet detailing the spring weight restrictions is available as a PDF document. The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) website also offers further guidance on these seasonal rules for drivers and transport companies.

A map showing the specific roads affected by the 2026 restrictions can be accessed through another PDF document.
