[January 16, 2023]
Beginning January 20, the seasonal weight limits will
be in effect on Logan County Highways. These roads are marked with
5-sided blue signs and are posted with weight limit signs.
During the winter months, soils will freeze and thaw repeatedly.
These conditions pose a problem for our local roads which were not
designed to support heavy traffic. Heavy trucks can cause
significant damage during these freeze/thaw cycles.
All vehicles in excess of the weight limits need to have a permit
issued by the Logan County Highway Department. Those permits will
only be valid on days when road conditions are suitable for hauling,
as determined by the Highway Department. Status of the road
conditions will posted on the Highway Department’s website calendar.

Permits are available by visiting
our website at
www.logancountyil.gov/highway, by calling (217) 732-3059, or
by visiting the Highway Department at 529 S. McLean Street in
Lincoln.
Hauling on township roads should be coordinated with the
respective Township Road Commissioner.
Taxpayer dollars can be better spent if we can prevent damage to
our roads. Again this year, the Logan County Highway Department
is asking for cooperation to help keep our roads in good
condition.
