Frozen Road Law Now in Effect Statewide
Wisconsin Ag Connection - 02/12/2016

Wisconsin's frozen road law is now in place statewide. The designation allows heavier loads for trucks carrying peeled or unpeeled forest products cut crosswise, and salt and sand for winter maintenance until approximately early March, unless thawing necessitates an earlier cancellation of the provision or continued cold weather allows for an extension of the declaration period.

The declaration is issued once the ground under highway pavement is frozen to a depth of at least 18 inches, allowing the maximum gross weight for trucks hauling logs or salt and sand for maintaining roads in winter to go up to 98,000 pounds on vehicles with a minimum of five axles (from the normal 80,000 pounds).

Special permits for hauling the increased weights are not required when the frozen road law is in effect, however, vehicles must be legally licensed at 80,000 pounds to handle the increased weights.
