Spring weight restrictions for roads
Release: Department of Transportation and Infrastructure
FREDERICTON (GNB) – Spring weight restrictions for truck traffic will take effect at:
- 12:01 a.m. on Monday, March 9, in SOUTHERN New Brunswick,
- 12:01 a.m. on Monday, March 16, in NORTHERN New Brunswick.
Restrictions will continue until:
- Sunday, May 10, in SOUTHERN New Brunswick,
- Sunday, May 17, in NORTHERN New Brunswick.
“These weight limits are put in place each spring to protect our road infrastructure from damage during the annual frost-and-thaw cycle," said Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Chuck Chiasson. “We provide this notice to the trucking community, so they may prepare to reduce their loads or plan for alternate routes during this period.”
The duration of the restriction period is determined by monitoring weather conditions and tracking the progress of the thaw using sensors located around the province. The dates are dependent upon weather conditions and are subject to change.
For the purpose of these restrictions, NORTHERN New Brunswick includes:
- All areas within the counties of Northumberland, Gloucester, Restigouche, Madawaska and Victoria.
- The portion of Route 108 within York County.
- The portion of Gordon Vale Road and Holtville Road within York County.
- The portion of Route 123 within Sunbury County and Queens County.
- The portion of Bloomfield Ridge Road between Holtville Road and Route 625.
- The portion of Route 625 between Gordon Vale Road and Route 8.
Should weather conditions warrant, regional directors are authorized to close roads to trucks or impose weight restrictions on highways or portions of highways at any time.
