Managing and Mitigating Infrastructure Strain
Lac Ste. Anne County is responsible for the preservation and maintenance of all municipal roads, highways and bridges within Lac Ste. Anne County which are under the direction, control and management of the County. A very important part of this responsibility is the protection of roadways during the spring thaw; a time of year that can create serious structural damage to roads and bridges if appropriate measures are not taken.
When a road ban occurs, signs indicating the allowed axle percentages are posted on some oiled surfaces and subdivisions. Road ban signage is not posted on gravel roads; however, all roads will be monitored and Road Bans enforced by Lac Ste. Anne County Enforcement Services to ensure compliance.
Motorists are thanked for their compliance with the standing hard surfaced road restrictions.
Please direct any questions regarding this program to the Public Works department at 780.785.3411 or [email protected].
