SPRING WEIGHT RESTRICTIONS

Attached is the 2026 Bayfield County Load Restrictions announcement.

The Namakagon Town Board has announced that Spring weight limit restrictions will begin on Monday, March 9, 2026 at 6am. When the highways become firm, the Spring weight limit restrictions will be lifted.

The Class “B” highways subject to weight limits within the Town of Namakagon are Dam Road, Crystal Lake Road and Garden Lake Road. Ordinance #22B establishes the seasonal weight limits and can be found at https://namakagon-wi.org/town-government/town-ordinances/. The seasonal weight restriction will be a five-ton gross weight. Permit forms can be found at https://namakagon-wi.org/forms/. Permit requests need to be submitted to the Town Clerk at mailto:laura.bjork@townofnamakagon.gov.

These Spring weight limitations will be enforced pursuant to Section 349.16 of the Wis. Stats.

We request all parties involved to abide by these limits in order to protect and preserve the structural capacities of the Highway System. If you have any questions about the Spring weight limit restrictions, please contact the Highway Department at 715-794-2666.
