MD of Greenview updates gravel road weight restrictions
Local trucking companies and haulers should check current axle weight limits before travelling municipal gravel roads in the region.
The Municipal District of Greenview has revised its road ban restrictions on gravel roads within the municipality. As of 1:00 p.m. Thursday, Township Road 692 was placed under a 50 per cent axle weight limit, in effect for 24 hours.
Road bans are periodically imposed or adjusted by the MD depending on road conditions, which can change quickly due to weather and moisture levels affecting gravel surfaces. The restrictions are intended to prevent damage to roadways from heavy vehicle traffic.
The MD advises residents, haulers and businesses that rely on the affected route to check current restrictions before travelling, as bans can be updated with little notice.
