Beginning January 20, the seasonal weight limits will be in
effect on all 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 Highway Commissioner.
Taxpayer dollars can be better spent if we can prevent damage to
our roads. The Logan County Highway Department is asking for
cooperation from the trucking community to help keep our roads
in good condition.
