[update] NS Spring Weight Restrictions in Effect

Spring Weight Restrictions for Queens County have been lifted on Sunday, 19-Apr-2026/11:59pm!

Spring weight restrictions -sometimes called Load Restrictions – came into effect for provincial roads in Queens County on midnight 15/16-Mar-2026.

Heavy commercial vehicles will not be allowed to travel on specified roads throughout the province. The weight restrictions on heavy trucks are necessary during the spring thaw to help protect roads that are weakened by mild and wet weather.

The Department of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal monitors air and road temperatures, and works closely with the trucking industry and Environment Canada to determine the date that best protects the province’s road surfaces.

The department monitors conditions throughout spring so roads can be opened or closed as needed.

The restrictions are expected to be in place for about two month and will usually be lifted on the second Monday in May – weather permitting.

20170306 Road Restrictions in EffectPlease note: These restrictions are in effect for our local roads Old Kettle Rd and Medway Harbor Rd too. Hence it only makes sense to apply same to our private FoxCreek community roads too!

Please take these restrictions into consideration when planning deliveries, constructions and enhancements on your property.
No heavy trucks & machinery allowed! Avoid oil and propane deliveries at this time.
