WisDOT Zone 5 weight restrictions

Seasonal weight restrictions and the frozen road declaration on Wisconsin state highways in Zone 5

WisDOT sets its seasonal programs on Wisconsin’s state highways separately for each of five zones, and this is Zone 5. In spring, as the ground thaws, Class II roads come under seasonal weight restrictions andseasonal posted roads carry posted weight limits. In winter, thefrozen road declaration lets heavier loads run while the roads are frozen.

WisDOT’s zone data says which programs are on in each zone but gives no start times, so ThawWatch dates a change from when it first sees it.

This covers state highways only. County, city, village and town roads in the zone post their own restrictions, which ThawWatch doesn’t cover yet. See every zone on the Wisconsin page.

Below is the latest status ThawWatch has read from the agency, with the time the agency gave for it. ThawWatch can text you when it changes.
