I suppose the purpose of the notice is to prevent trucks (of the specified weight class) from taking an unapproved detour while the 104 bridge is under deconstruction/construction....the issuance date is 3/1/10 and it ends 5/1/10 which lines up pretty well with the construction schedule.

Each spring the Town of Fairfax puts up these signs on all of its dirt roads.  I hear the Town Office checking with Don Pigeon quite often to see if it is permissible for some of the heavy trucks to go on the back roads - People like Griswolds or S D Ireland for example.

It reduces the break up of the roads when the frost is coming out.
