2015 Weight Restrictions in Chelan County

January 29th began the first day of posted 2015 seasonal weight restrictions for Chelan County.  A complete list of currently restricted roads and an interactive map can be found on the Chelan County Public Works Travel Alerts webpage.  The “Special Motor Vehicle Permit” is is also available on that webpage.  It is necessary to have a completed and approved copy of this permit with you in the vehicle when you travel on weight restricted roads. 

During the freeze/thaw season, heavier loads can create severe damage to county roads.  District foremen monitor the conditions of their routes and post restrictions as necessary.  This means restrictions on weight, but also can mean a time restriction, as using the road early in the mornings, when the roads are frozen, can prevent some of the damage incurred when they are thawed and wet.  That is why Special Motor Vehicle Permits may also require that trucks be off the roads by 8AM or 9AM.

Roads that are restricted are subject to change daily.  It takes one day to process a Special Motor Vehicle Permit, so be sure to plan ahead.  If you aren't sure whether your vehicle requires a permit, please call the Public Works office at 509/667.6415.
