Oversize Travel Affected by Winter Weather

WI: Frozen Road Law Starts for Northern Half

The Frozen Road Period begins in Zone 1 and 2 Saturday, December 21, 2024, at 12:01 AM CST. The Frozen Road Period will begin in Zones 3 through 5 when conditions warrant.

The frozen road law allows vehicles hauling abrasives or salt for highway winter maintenance and certain forest products to carry more weight. The seasonal weight restriction program is one way to protect Wisconsin’s investments in roads.

The department maintains an interactive map for seasonal weight restrictions, which shows the frozen roads boundaries, Class II roads and posted roads.
