Weight limits for area highways go into effect

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) North Central Region announced the seasonal posting of weight limits on area state highways. The weight restrictions are 6 tons gross load for single axle vehicles and 10 tons gross load for tandem axle vehicles (any two axles under 8 feet apart). The maximum gross weight is 24 tons.
Weight restrictions went into effect at noon on Monday, Mar. 10, 2025, on the following highways in Lincoln County and Marathon County:
• WIS 52, Marathon County, from Little Elm Rd. to Shawano County line.
• WIS 107, Marathon County, from Marathon County Rd. A to the Lincoln County line.
