Weight restrictions are currently in place on all provincial gravel roads due to mild weather and thawing.

Trucks travelling on gravel roads will be permitted to a maximum of 6,500 kilograms for a single axle, and 12,000 kilograms for a tandem triaxle and 18,000 kilograms on tridem or tridem-equivalent axle.

However, lower than normal temperatures forecast for the next few days have allowed a partial lifting of weight restrictions on gravel roads in all counties.

Starting Sunday, March 5 at 6 a.m. until Monday, March 6 at 12:01 a.m., non-divisible loads up to normal axle loadings will be permitted. An example of a non-divisible load would be a single large piece of equipment as opposed to several smaller pieces of equipment that could be split among several vehicles.
