There is no bridges or anything like that on this road. The sign is 58k gross limit. I drive my fully loaded tandem dump truck down it at 50-54k gross on three axles. It doesn't hurt anything. The semi at 65k which is what it weighs with all my equipment on it has far less weight per axle than the dump so I don't see how it would hurt anything either.
I have seen fully loaded belly dumps drive down it on a regular basis. -
When i was hauling dirt locally for construction. We had a small job in a town on the outer edges of salt lake city. I was taking one load of gravel. Cop pulls me over and says this street is no trucks. There were no signs on the street. I was making a local delivery so he let me go. But he could have given me a ticket. He said the office is supposed to have a map of truck legal streets in the city.

I run two miles of gravel road to my house every week, even crossing single lane bridges. Very hilly. No one really gives a rip. And I do it loaded. I got home yesterday with 46K in a 53' dry box. Will deliver it Monday. Road is not marked in any way for anything but a stop sign at a "T" intersection. Bridges are not marked, nothing. I use the road weekly as do an occasional grain hauler, which I am sure is loaded to the max, and probably over.
