The source, and how we read it
HTML bulletin · Partly machine-readablePolled weekly (off season)
- Publisher
- Michigan Department of Transportation
- Authoritative page
- https://mdotjboss.state.mi.us/APSWB/SWBHome.htm?bulletin=weight
- Format
- HTML bulletin — Partly machine-readable
- What we do with it
- Parsed into dated restriction rows.
- Posting season
- 02-01 to 06-01 — MDOT issues numbered Spring Weight Restriction Bulletins, each stating the moment it takes effect. The 2026 season ran bulletin #1 on Feb 17 to bulletin #8 on May 15, which lifted the last restriction statewide.
- Polling cadence today
- Outside Michigan's posting window by 79 days — polled weekly, so an unscheduled restriction and a broken source are both found before the season opens.
- If our copy goes stale
- It errs toward showing a restriction the state has already lifted, because this source publishes only what is currently in force.
About this data
Restrictions apply to routes marked "Seasonal" on the MDOT Truck Operators Map — a 25% axle-weight reduction on rigid pavement and 35% on flexible. Which pavement a given mile is, is a property of the road, not of the state, so we never compute the reduction ourselves.
