    The Flathead County Board of Commissioners approved earlier than usual weight restrictions for all county roads effective February 23, 2024 due to current weather patterns and lack of moisture already causing issues. Restricted weight per vehicle is not to exceed 350 or 400 lbs. per inch of tire width according to County Resolution No. 2607. Seasonal weight restrictions are implemented to protect roads from damage caused by heavy trucks and equipment when frost melts and materials under roads become wet and spongy.

    Media Release
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

    Today, the Flathead County Board of Commissioners approved weight restrictions for all county
    roads effective February 23, 2024. Our current weather pattern and lack of moisture are already
    causing issues with some of our county roads creating the need for restrictions earlier than usual.

    Restricted weight per vehicle is not to exceed 350 or 400 lbs. per inch of tire width (see County
    Resolution No. 2607 to determine the allowed weights and the list of all roads).

    Asphalt is a great pavement choice in areas with extreme conditions like Montana. Yet, there are
    times when this bendable pavement, and gravel, becomes fragile. As frost melts beneath the
    layers of pavement, materials under the roads turn wet and spongy. When heavy
    trucks/equipment use the roads during this sloppy time, it can cause permanent damage. Seasonal
    weight restrictions are based on the number of axles, weight of the vehicle, size of the tires,
    speed of the vehicle, and known road conditions. Flathead County Roads Department needs the
    right balance to protect our roads.
