DAVIESS CO. – The Daviess County Highway Department has announced that the 10-ton load limit on county roads will be lifted today. The decision comes as temperatures are forecast to drop below freezing, reducing the risk of damage to road surfaces caused by freeze-thaw cycles.
County officials thanked the community for their patience and cooperation during the load restrictions. These restrictions were implemented to protect the integrity of local roads during fluctuating temperatures, which can cause significant damage, especially with heavy loads.
The Highway Department will continue to monitor road conditions and temperatures in the coming weeks. While the load limit is currently lifted, officials cautioned that it could be reinstated if weather conditions change and pose a threat to road integrity.
Drivers are advised to stay informed about any potential changes to weight restrictions.
