Road Weight Restrictions Temporarily Removed

The temporary removal of spring weight restrictions on Nova Scotia roads has been extended for all counties until 12:01 a.m., Saturday, March 4.

The Department of Transportation and Public Works may post lower weights for individual roads throughout the province. Updated information is available on the department's website at <a href="http://www.gov.ns.ca/tran">www.gov.ns.ca/tran</a .

Transportation and Public Works staff monitor the roads daily to determine if and when weight restrictions are needed. Weight restrictions help ensure safe driving conditions and protect roads weakened by mild, wet weather.
