Overloaded grain trucks grinding up soft summer asphalt could be a thing of the past

Overloaded grain trucks grinding up soft summer asphalt could be a thing of the past, if Infrastructure Minister Volodymyr Omelyan gets his way. He wants to install modern ‘weight-in-motion’ sensors on the nation’s highways. The short term goal is to catch every truck leaving or entering Kyiv next year with weights over 40 tons. By 2020, he tells reporters, a nationwide network would enforce the national truck weight limit of 40 tons.
