Half-Load Season to Begin March 1, 2026

The Township of Asphodel-Norwood advises residents and motorists that half-load restrictions will come into effect on posted rural roads beginning March 1, 2026.

During the spring thaw, many rural roads become softer and more vulnerable to damage caused by heavy vehicles, regardless of the number of axles. To help protect the Township’s road network during this period, weight restrictions of five (5) tonnes per axle will be enforced where posted.

Half-load restrictions will remain in place until April 30, 2026, unless otherwise extended or rescinded based on road and weather conditions. 

We thank residents and road users for their cooperation in helping to preserve the Township’s road infrastructure during this vulnerable season.
