Season Road Posting March 8, 2010
On Monday, March 8th, the Village roads will be limited to vehicles with a gross weight of less than 10 tons. All overweight permits will be suspended and no new ones issued by the Village.
The thaw forecasted to occur over the coming week leaves Village roads susceptible to damage by vehicles of the regularly permitted weight class.
The office of the Village Engineer has completed a review of the extended forecast and current road conditions and recommends that a reduced load limit be posted on Village maintained streets.
The length of closure will be determined by the rate at which the moisture leaves the road subgrade. Typically this occurs in early May, but can vary depending on the amount of precipitation and the predominant weather patterns that occur in the month of April.
