Trucking
Oversized and overweight load restrictions via the Trans-Canada Highway through Rogers Pass
Highway 16 within Jasper National Park is currently CLOSED due to wildfire. An Evacuation Order is in place for the Town of Jasper.
If you plan to reroute trucks via the Trans-Canada Highway through Rogers Pass in Glacier National Park, please be aware of the different height and weight restrictions along that route. New Provincial permits will be required for any overweight and oversized loads. Permits obtained for travel via Highway 16 are not valid for travel through Rogers Pass.
Commercial vehicles with a height greater than 4.4m (14.4ft) cannot safely travel the Trans-Canada Highway through Rogers Pass. They will not fit through the five permanent concrete avalanche sheds designed to protect motorists from avalanches in winter.
Traffic redirected by the evacuation order will add to the already high seasonal volumes of traffic. This will result in very busy highways. Please have patience, drive carefully, and expect delays. Let’s all do our part to ensure everyone gets home safely.
