Seasonal load restrictions on Forest Service Roads will be going into affect Monday, 3/14/11 for OML 3, 4 & 5 roads. FR730 & FR1460 will go into effect Friday 3/11/2011 at 1200.
As in past years we are generally following the local counties schedule of putting seasonal restrictions in affect but we do not strictly follow their schedules for lifting restrictions as many of our roads are not snow plowed and more shaded than county roads and take longer to thaw. We begin evaluating the conditions of our roads after the counties begin lifting restrictions but our restrictions remain in affect until we remove the signs. Loads on FS roads are limited to 3 Tons which limits any vehicles generally larger than a pickup. Emergency vehicles are not affected.
