Description

Press release from the Village of Menomonee Falls: March 8, 2022 Beginning on Friday, March 11th, load limit signs will be placed along Village roadways restricting heavy vehicle traffic in excess of 6 tons. The Village places weight restrictions on Village roadways in the spring of the year to limit damage to the pavement that can occur when frost and moisture are leaving the roadway sub-grade. During the period of posted load limit restrictions, all non-essential vehicles in excess of 6 tons will be prohibited from traveling on posted roadways. These vehicles include construction material delivery trucks, concrete trucks, landscaping trucks, dumpster transport trucks, etc. These weight limit restrictions will be enforced by the Police Department beginning on Monday, March 14th. Posted load limit restrictions will be removed at such time as the Village determines that the roadways have thawed and dried sufficiently to support these heavy vehicle loads (approximately 30-40 days).  EXEMPTIONS  - Municipal vehicles (DPW, Police, and Fire), utility company vehicles, fuel delivery vehicles, garbage and recycling vehicles, and parcel/appliance delivery vehicles - New areas without surface course asphalt (final lift) including: Edgewood Preserve Subdivision, Evergreen Fields Subdivision, Clover Lane, Sanctuary at Good Hope Subdivision, and Silver Spring Estates Subdivision (Phase VI & VII) POSTINGS  This information will be updated as the status changes on the Village Website (http://www.menomonee-falls.org) and Access Cable Channel No. 25. Check these locations, email [email protected], or call 262-532-4700 for questions and updates. Restricted roadway map This press release was produced by the Village of Menomonee Falls.
