Saskatchewan Makes Changes To Spring Road Bans

Spring road bans are being lifted for agricultural priority goods.
 
The Province and SARM clearing the way for easier movement of seed, fuel, and fertilizer.
 
Agriculture Minister David Marit says the measure will help producers finish last year's harvest, market last year's crop, and get this year's crop in the ground.
 
For this year only, there will be no permit requirements for priority goods.
 
Highways and Infrastructure Minister Greg Ottenbreit says they have been working with SARM and the RMs to provide consent to determine which roads can handle secondary weights.
 
These roads will be monitored in order to prevent any unnecessary road damage should conditions change.
 
SARM President Ray Orb says they are encouraging RMs to work with highway officials to determine whether to allow secondary weights on their local roads.
 
Routes will be determined in collaboration with Rural Municipalities based on local conditions.
