Reduced load restrictions on certain Timmins roads go into effect on Monday (March 27).
To protect the roads, a city bylaw limits how heavy a load commercial motor vehicles and trails can carry during the spring thaw.
Typically, half-load restrictions are in until June 15, unless the city lifts it early.
Last year, year-round load restrictions were added to some roads.
