Drummond/North Elmsley's Public Works Department would like to advise all residents that reduced load restriction of five (5) tonnes per axle, will be in force on all Township roads effective Tuesday, February 27th, 2024.

It is an offence, under section 122 of 'The Highway Traffic Act', to transport loads in excess of five (5) tonnes per axle upon roads where reduced loads are in effect. The reduced load period is necessary for the protection of Township Roads that are susceptible to damage during the spring thaw. The restriction will be removed when the likelihood of road damage has diminished. 

Take notice that in accordance with The Corporation of the County of Lanark By-Law #99-07, reduced load restrictions will be in force on designated County Roads effective Tuesday, February 27th, 2024.

A map of all County Roads and the list of County Road exceptions where reduced load periods are not in effect can be viewed at website at https://www.lanarkcounty.ca/en/roads-trails-and-transit/public-consultations.aspx
