Spring breakup brings seasonal weight restrictions that usually run from mid to late March through late June in Interior Alaska, can cut allowable gross weight by as much as 50 percent for vehicles over 10,000 pounds, and may apply to all state routes, including the Dalton Highway.
The state transportation department tells permitted carriers to check the 511 road conditions service before moving a load.
