Minnesota Statute 169.87 establishes weight restrictions.

Cooperation and compliance with the legal posted limits is needed to minimize unnecessary
damage to roads, a county news release stated. Visit www.crowwing.us/index.aspx?nid=156 for information regarding restrictions in Crow Wing County or visit the highway department office.
