2018 Manitoba Spring Road Restrictions (SRR) Program
The purpose of Spring Road Restrictions is to protect Manitoba’s surfaced pavements from undue damage by reducing allowable axle weights during the spring thawing season. In consultation with those affected by these weight reductions, Manitoba Infrastructure periodically revises its policies and procedures to reflect the current transportation trends, industry needs and weather patterns. Up to date policies and procedures help industry improve trip planning while minimizing the impact of loads to the weak pavement structures when they are at their most vulnerable conditions.
General guidelines to Spring Road Restrictions are provided in the highway traffic act.
- 2018 Spring road restrictions are in effect starting on March 20th, 2018 in Zone 1.
- 2018 Spring road restrictions will not commence prior to April 7th, 2018 in Zone 2.
- 2018 Spring road restriction will not commence prior to April 9th, 2018 in Zone 3.
