Spring Thaw Information

The Ministère des Transports, de la Mobilité durable et de l’Électrification des transports informs you that the dates of the thaw period in Quebec are modified for zones 2 and 3. Therefore, loads limits restrictions applying in these two zones will end at the following dates:

Zone 2: March 27^th – May 26^th

Zone 3: March 27^th - May 26^th

Dates for zone 1 remain unchanged: February 27^th – April 28^th

During this period, authorized load limits are reduced because the road network load bearing capacity is weakened. Restrictions vary between 8% and 20% according to the vehicle’s type of axles and configuration.

For any additional information please consult the “Thaw Period - Official dates” page in the “Trucking” section of the of the Ministère des Transports, de la Mobilité durable et de l’Électrification des transports web site: https://www.transports.gouv.qc.ca/fr/entreprises-partenaires/ent-camionnage/degel/Pages/Periode-de-degel.aspx

We would appreciate if you could forward this information to your members, partners and staff.

Thank you for your collaboration and best regards,
