[January 10, 2012]  During the winter months, soils will freeze and thaw repeatedly. This can cause problems for our local roadways. Heavy loads during these freezing and thawing cycles can cause significant damage.

Beginning Jan. 20, seasonal weight limits will be in effect on all Logan County highways. These roads are marked with five-sided blue signs and are posted with the weight limit signs. Any vehicle in excess of the weight limits needs to have a permit issued by the Logan County Highway Department.

Permits are available by visiting www.co.logan.il.us/highwaydept, by calling the highway department office at 217-732-3059 or by visiting the office at 529 S. McLean St. in Lincoln. There is no charge for the permits. Permits will be valid only on certain days when conditions are suitable.

Hauling on township roads in Logan County during this time period will need to be coordinated with the respective township road commissioner.

Again this year, the highway department asks for cooperation to help keep the roads in good condition.
