Each spring, the ministère des Transports et de la mobilité durable determines thaw periods when the loads of heavy vehicles 🚛 traveling on the Quebec road network must be reduced.

The dates previously announced for the year 2023 have been modified.

Here are the updated load restriction periods, for each of the spring thaw zones:

  • Zone 1: Monday, March 13 (12:01 a.m.) to Friday, May 12 (11:59 p.m.)
  • Zone 2: Monday, March 13 (12:01 a.m.) to Friday, May 12 (11:59 p.m.)
  • Zone 3: Monday, March 20 (12:01 a.m.) to Friday, May 19 (11:59 p.m.)

We will inform you if, due to weather conditions, other changes occur.
