Riding Mountain National Park has implemented spring weight restrictions.
The move is intended to minimize the impact to highways from damage during spring thaw conditions.
Highway #19:
Effective immediately, weight restrictions of 6,006 lbs or 2,730 kg gross vehicle weight will be enforced on Hwy #19 within the boundaries of Riding Mountain National Park. As an approximate guide, the largest vehicle allowed would be an empty three-quarter ton truck or a loaded half-ton truck.
This limit will remain in effect until road and weather conditions permit restrictions to be lifted.
Highway #10:
Closure to heavy truck traffic (three axles or more) on Hwy # 10 within the boundaries of Riding Mountain National Park remains in effect.
Advance signage will be posted to allow alternative routes to be used. Please be advised that in order to ensure compliance there will be unscheduled enforcement of these restrictions.
Vehicles with three axles or more will be allowed access to the townsite, the Parks Canada’s Maintenance Compound, and the Clear Lake Golf Course from the south entrance of the park only for delivery purposes.
