Starting Friday, January 19 at 5:00 PM, the load limit for the Fort Chipewyan Winter Road will increase to 27,500 kilograms.
Vehicles heavier than the 27,500 kg limit will have to wait until the road limits are increased again, as heavier vehicles could damage the road.
Those using the winter road are reminded that with this increase, large fuel trucks will be using the Winter Road. All heavy vehicles, including fuel trucks will have to submit a permit with the RMWB’s Heavy Vehicle Information Package.
Crews are continuing work on the Winter Road, and are expecting to increase the load limits as the ice thickens. Drivers are reminded to obey all detour signs and to stay away from closed-off routes.
