Muskegon County Road Commission Announces Seasonal Weight Restrictions

Muskegon County, MI — The Muskegon County Road Commission (MCRC) will implement seasonal weight restrictions beginning Wednesday, January 8, 2026, at 6:00 a.m. These restrictions are scheduled to be lifted on Sunday, January 19, 2026, at 6:00 a.m., subject to change based on weather conditions and roadway performance.

Unseasonably warm temperatures forecasted for the coming weeks can weaken road surfaces, particularly gravel and paved roads with frost-susceptible bases. These conditions increase the risk of premature road damage from heavy loads.

MCRC staff will continue to closely monitor weather patterns and field conditions. If roadway conditions deteriorate, additional weight or speed restrictions may be implemented with little notice to preserve the integrity of the transportation system and reduce long-term maintenance costs.

The Muskegon County Road Commission appreciates the cooperation of the hauling community and the public in helping protect local roads during this vulnerable period.
