NEW ULM — Spring road weight restrictions in Brown County go into effect at 12:01 a.m., Monday, March 3 to coincide with weight restrictions imposed by the Minnesota Department of Transportation South Zone.

All county roads are restricted to five, seven, nine or ten tons per axle as indicated by posted signs. For gravel roads, the weight restriction is five tons per axle.

Any Brown County paved road not marked by signs is restricted to 10 tons. These limits are imposed to minimize road damage during the spring thaw.
