NS Readies for Spring Road Weight Restrictions
Spring weight restrictions on provincial roads will begin rollout tomorrow.
Restrictions begin at 11:59 tonight for the Halifax Region, Annapolis, Digby, Hants, Kings, Lunenburg, Queens, Shelburne, and Yarmouth.
The regulations kick-in next Sunday in Cumberland along with Cape Breton Region, Antigonish, Colchester, Pictou, Guysborough, Inverness, Richmond, and Victoria counties.
The weight restrictions end on Friday, April 30.
Weight restrictions on heavy vehicles are needed during the spring thaw to protect roads weakened by mild and wet weather. The Department of Transportation and Active Transit will continue to monitor the end date in relation to road and weather conditions to ensure it remains appropriate.
