County updates truck routes and permanent road bans network

Mar 21, 2023 | 10:22 AM

The County of Grande Prairie has made changes to its truck routes and permanent road ban network and plans to roll out those revisions by the end of this month.

Director of Public Works Ryan Konowalyk says in a news release that infrastructure upgrades over recent years made the review of their road work necessary, adding they considered factors such as whether roads and infrastructure could handle legal axle weights structurally and safely.

The revised Permanent Road Bans and Truck Routes map can be found online at www.countygp.ab.ca/roadbans, with roads marked in red being non-truck routes that can still be used by trucks to access localized facilities, such as battery sites.

The County says Truck route and non-truck route signage will be updated by March 25.
