Load Restrictions in Effect Starting March 1, 2025

Important Notice: Load Restrictions in Effect Starting March 1, 2025 

To protect our infrastructure during the spring thaw, half load restrictions will be in effect on all Township of East Garafraxa roads beginning March 1st, 2025.

Why are these restrictions necessary?

Spring thaw softens roads, making them weaker and more susceptible to damage. Heavy loads can cause roads to sink or crack, leading to permanent damage. Half-load restrictions protect our roads from costly repairs and prevent frequent reconstruction.

When are the restrictions in place?

Typically from March 1st to May 15th each year, depending on weather and road conditions. Permits are required for moving excess loads during this period. 

For more information or to apply for a excess load permit, please contact the Township office.
