Reduced load restrictions are taking effect today on Grey County-owned roads.
The county says the restrictions of five tonnes per axle will be in effect to protect local roads, which are at their most vulnerable to damage this time of year.
“Load restrictions help to extend the lifespan of the road surface by minimizing damage from heavy vehicles,” says the county in a release.
Load restrictions are typically in effect from March 1 to May 1, but dates may change depending on conditions.
