or call the Traffic Department Phone: 343-8406 / Fax: 343-8488

Effective May 12 at 8:00 A.M., with limited exception, all streets owned / maintained by the Municipality of Anchorage will be subject to the following restrictions:

Paved Streets – Normal Summer Permitting

Gravel, RAP, and Chip Sealed Streets within the lower Anchorage Bowl – 100% (No Overloads)

All Gravel roadways east of the Elmore Road Alignment and Upper Rabbit Creek and Bear Vally road service areas are 75%

Weight restrictions for legal axle loads apply to all vehicles over 10,000 GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight).  These restrictions are normally imposed at this time of year and could possibly be enforced through May 2025. The duration of the restrictions is dependent upon the weather and subsurface temperatures.  The purpose of these restrictions is to reduce roadway damage during spring break up. This damage can be caused by vehicles exceeding certain weight limitations.

Attached you will find a list of streets that will be physically posted with proper signing for the above weight restrictions, and for streets requiring increased restrictions.

The following streets will be posted with proper signs for any additional required limits effective May 12, 2025, at 8:00 A.M.
