Winter Weights Removed

Released on March 15, 2017

With milder weather returning to Saskatchewan this week, winter weights were removed for all of Saskatchewan highways at 12:01 a.m. on Wednesday, March 15.

Truckers and shippers can find information and weight restrictions on the Highway Hotline at http://hotline.gov.sk.ca/restrictions/ or by calling 306-787-7623 in Regina; 306-933-8333 in Saskatoon; across Canada at 1-888-335-7623; and on the SaskTel Cellular Network at *ROAD.

Technical and regulatory information is available from Commercial Vehicle Enforcement at 1-866-933-5290, which operates weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., except stat holidays.

Winter weights allow trucks to haul more weight on secondary weight highways. Winter weather freezes the roadbed, allowing roads to sustain additional weight without incremental damage occurring on the roads.
