About this file
This document is a memorandum from the Department of the Air Force regarding Arnold Air Force Base (AAFB) public roadway weight limits, dated 16 June 2015. The memorandum establishes a 4-ton gross vehicle weight (GVW) restriction for vehicles operating on AAFB public access roads, with specific applications to Wattendorf Memorial Highway and Decherd Highway within AAFB boundaries. The restriction is designed to prevent avoidable wear on publicly accessible roads, reduce maintenance costs, and minimize road repair frequency.
The document includes a detailed table specifying maximum allowable axle and wheel loads for different streets within the base, with varying load limits ranging from 18,000 to 24,000 pounds per axle for trucks and trailers, and 25,200 to 33,600 pounds per axle for large tire equipment. The memorandum provides a process for individuals or businesses seeking a temporary waiver to the 4-ton restriction, requiring submission of a request to the Base Civil Engineer explaining the reason, duration, estimated GVW, number of trips, and dates of intended travel. The final page includes an aerial map of the AEDC (Arnold Engineering Development Complex) roads and streets.
