Default dry time for concrete footing

We are pouring 3 ft concrete footings 2 feet deep so 3'x3'x2'deep footings

I was wondering the dry time would be approximately before we can put load bearing posts on the footing

This is for opening a load bearing wall to the kitchen

any ideas as to when the footings should have aout 3000psi strength?


Depends on what grade of concrete you used but a good rule of thumb is to keep it wet for 7 days before loading.
