Posted

OGLE COUNTY — Roads throughout Ogle County are being posted this week with Spring road limit weight restrictions going into effect beginning Monday, March 8.
The Ogle County Sheriff’s Office, in conjunction with the Ogle County Highway Department, will be enforcing these restrictions.

Weight limits include two-axle, single rear tires – 7,ooo pounds; two-axles, dual rear tires (and axle load 11,000 pounds) – 18,000 pounds; three or more axles, dual rear tires (and axle load 11,000 pounds) – 33,000 pounds.
Penalties for not meeting compliance include $250 for 2,001 pounds to 5,000 pounds over; $350 for 5,001 pounds to 7,000 pounds over; and $500 for over 7,001 pounds.
All vehicles on Ogle County maintained asphalt or bituminous roads are temporarily restricted to the weight limit restrictions effective Monday, March 8.
The temporary restrictions are being put in place due to the winter thaw in order to protect the structural integrity of county highways.
