SEASONAL WEIGHT LIMITS

Beginning Tuesday, March 19, 2024, seasonal reduced weight limits will be suspended until further notice for all roads included in the county highway system with seasonal weight limit signs.  Weight limit restrictions may be in place on township roads.  Please contact the respective township road commissioner.  Please tune to WNOI, Clay County Sheriff’s phone app (click here) and to this website for load limit information.  The highway department would like to keep the roads open as much as possible.  PLEASE respect the load limits when they are in effect.  Damaging the roads with heavy loads not only costs taxpayer money but it also affects your neighbors and fellow Clay county residents.  Please be kind and respect the load limits.
