Load Restrictions
Spring Load Restrictions
The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) initiated spring load restrictions on Monday, March 3, 2025. These load restrictions will officially end at 12:01 a.m. on Wednesday, April 16, 2025. Minnesota Statute 169.87 dictates that all loads on paved roads within the City of Hastings will be limited to ten tons per axle during the spring load restriction period unless otherwise posted.
Why do we do this?
When the ground thaws in spring, roads become more susceptible to damage. Heavy trucks can cause serious damage if they carry too much weight. These rules help keep our streets safe and extend their useful life.
