After being postponed earlier this month due to unseasonably warm weather, the Saskatchewan government says winter weight season began for a number of secondary highways today.
When a roadbed is frozen, secondary weight highways have the same strength as primary weight highways, which support the heaviest legal loads, allowing truckers to carry up to 15-20 per cent more payload on secondary highways.
A list of the highways is available online www.saskatchewan.ca/highwayhotline.
