BRANCH COUNTY, MI (WTVB) – The Branch County Road Commission has announced that weight restrictions will be lifted on all Branch County roads as of 6:00 a.m. this Friday, March 12, 2021.
Weight restrictions have been in effect since March 1.
When weight restrictions are put in place every spring, normal legal loads have to be reduced by 35 percent on paved roads and 25 percent on concrete roads for all vehicles considered “Non-Exempt”.
Tickets are issued for violators. The weight restrictions are being lifted as it looks like the weather has broken with highs getting well above freezing. This follows 18 straight days in February when the temperatures did not get above the freezing mark.
