Here is a sign that winter is starting to wind down: spring weight restrictions for truck traffic will soon arrive on New Brunswick roads.
The province says restrictions will begin at midnight on Feb. 28 in southern regions and at midnight on March 7 in the north.
Transportation Minister Jill Green said seasonal weight limits allow them to protect our infrastructure during freeze-thaw cycles.
“We appreciate our industry partners’ patience and co-operation in reducing loads and planning alternate routes during this period,” Green said in a news release.
Restrictions will continue until May 16 in the south and May 23 in the north, but those dates could change depending on weather conditions.
