Municipality Implements Annual Spring Weight Restrictions

Friday, Feb. 26, 2016 (Halifax, NS) – To minimize potential damage to municipal streets and roads, the Halifax Regional Municipality will introduce its annual spring weight restrictions starting at 12:01 a.m. Monday, Feb. 29. These restrictions are for heavy vehicles travelling on municipally maintained roads in the former County of Halifax only. A full list of exempt roads is available online at http://www.halifax.ca/snow/springweightrestrictions.php. Regular weight tolerances would apply on those exempt roads. These restrictions are expected to remain in place until April 25, 2016; however, if the roads are stabilized before then, the restrictions may be lifted earlier and the municipality will issue a Public Service Announcement. The municipality’s spring weight restrictions are consistent with those of the Nova Scotia Department of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal (NSTIR).
