The City of Kawartha Lakes Roads Operations division announced Tuesday that it will lift all load restrictions effective Monday May 8, 2017.
Restrictions are typically put into place during the spring thaw, when road are most likely to be damaged due to heavy loading. This program identifies and imposes load restrictions on roads, or portions of roads that are weakened by excess water in the road base. Once the road has been determined to be structurally sound, load restrictions may be rescinded.
Due to changing weather patterns, the roads affected and the duration of the restricted period may change.
