The City of Thunder Bay will be removing seasonal load restrictions on Monday, May 18 beginning at 7am.

This lifts roadway weight restrictions that were instituted on March 23 in conjunction with the Ministry of Transportation’s Provincial Reduced Load Regulations.

Heavy load restrictions are put into effect each spring to protect Thunder Bay’s road network from damage until frost is out of the ground.

Your co-operation in preventing excessive damage to our City streets is appreciated. For more information and to view a reduced loads exemption restrictions map, visit thunderbay.ca/heavyloads.

For more information, contact the Engineering Division at 807-625-2266.
