During the spring thaw, most rural roads become too soft to withstand the weight of a fully loaded truck, regardless of the number of axles.
To reduce damage to our roads during this time of year, weight restrictions of five tonnes per axle (half-loads) on all rural roads within the Municipality of Port Hope are imposed. This will take affect beginning Friday, February 17, 2023 until April 30, 2023. Typically, this begins in March but due to the mild winter, this timeline needs to be adjusted. The restriction timeline may be altered as conditions are monitored.
Please check with Northumberland County for any weight restrictions that may apply to the County roads that pass through our Municipality.
