Reduced load season is underway in Dufferin County.
Launching on March 1, load restrictions will remain in effect until further notice. The load restriction is a maximum of five metric tonnes per axle.
“Reduced load restrictions help protect roads during the spring thaw when road damage is most likely to occur. The County asks all road users to adhere to the road load restrictions to help protect its roads,” said the County of Dufferin in a press release issued on March 4.
Load restriction updates can be found at dufferincounty.ca. To access the Municipal 511 website, visit municipal511.ca.
