Road restrictions lifted

Weight restrictions on a list of county roads were lifted Monday morning from all roads west of Almota Road and south of Highway 23 which had limits posted over the past three weeks due to softened ground from snowmelt and warmer temperatures.

Roads are expected to be opened Wednesday and Thursday of this week are those south of Highway 194 and Highway 270.

Some roads may be limited longer.

Whitman County Public Works assistant engineer Dean Cornelison said he expects restrictions to remain off until next winter.
