Load Restrictions

Load Restrictions

Seasonal load restrictions on Township roadways will take effect March 2, 2026 and are expected remain in place until the end of April. Road restriction start and end dates are subject to change based on weather conditions. More information may be found on Municipal511

In accordance with By-law #2025-37 during this time most vehicles are restricted to 5 tonnes for each axle. Fuel and feed trucks are limited to 7.5 tonnes per axle and milk trucks are exempt.

The reason for the load restriction is to minimize the deterioration of the road during the spring thaw. Equipment exceeding the weight restriction causes extensive damage to the roads, resulting in very high maintenance costs and increased liability.

Although farm equipment is not included in this by-law, we request local farmers to consider spring thaw conditions when scheduling movement of commodities, machinery etc. This will help preserve your Township roads.
