The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) has extended its temporary weight allowance for trucks hauling rock, sand, and gravel used in flood recovery and levee repair efforts. The waiver permits commercial motor carriers to exceed standard weight limits by up to 10% under Missouri law.
The extension is effective through August 31, 2025, and is intended to support ongoing infrastructure repairs following severe flooding across the state.
