The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities will impose seasonal weight restrictions on Kodiak roads starting Monday, April 20, 2026, at 8:00 a.m.

The restrictions limit trucks to a percentage of their normal legal weight to protect roads during spring thaw. Chiniak Highway from mile 0 to 21 will be restricted to 75 percent of legal weight, while the stretch from mile 21 to 31.8 will drop to 50 percent. Pasagshak Road from mile 0 to 15.7 will be restricted to 75 percent.

The restrictions apply to maximum axle loading under state regulations. Normal summer restrictions will apply to all other state-maintained roads in the Kodiak area unless specifically listed.

The Department of Public Safety and the DOT Division of Measurement Standards and Commercial Vehicle Enforcement will enforce the restrictions. Additional restrictions may be imposed as conditions change.

Authorized weight restrictions are posted only on the DOT Division of Measurement Standards and Commercial Vehicle Enforcement webpage. Information on 511 or other sites is for reference only. The most recent public notice supersedes conflicting information from other sources.

Public notices are available at www.dot.alaska.gov/mscve under the Commercial Vehicle Enforcement tab, then Weight Restrictions, then Southcoast Region.
