The North Dakota Department of Transportation will begin lifting load restrictions on roadways across North Dakota as early as next week pending test results beginning Monday.

Restrictions will be lifted when roadbeds have stabilized enough to carry normal traffic. The lifting of the restrictions usually begins in the southwest corner of the state and moves across the southern half to the east.

Up-to-date load restriction information is available online at http://www.dot.nd.gov/roadreport/loadlimit/loadlimit.asp.

Load restriction information also is available by calling 511, any of the NDDOT district offices, or by calling the North Dakota Highway Patrol Permit Section at (701) 328-2621.
