Concord Road load limits

The City of Concord will begin posting “No Trucking – Load Limit 9 Tons” signs throughout Concord starting March 15. This practice is performed annually at the onset of spring to protect roads from heavy vehicles during the spring thaw. Weight restrictions are posted on roads to help minimize additional road damage from heavy vehicles on weakened road structures. The road load limits of 9 tons will not affect the average car or truck, but will impact heavy construction vehicles and commercial trucking. The weight restrictions will help maintain road conditions as Concord General Services crews patch potholes and make road repairs when possible. Residents can report potholes using the City of Concord’s new reporting tool at concordnh.gov/seeclickfix or by downloading the new mobile app, MyConcordNH. The load limit postings are weather and road condition-dependent, but will likely remain in place through the end of March or early April. The City of Concord does not issue permits for drivers for spring load limits. Drivers can call Concord General Services at 228-2737 to request for travel permissions if necessary of one to two loads before noon. The list of streets that will be posted are at concordnh.gov/springoperations.
