North Huron Roads: Washout Conditions

Due to heavy rain and significant snow melt over the past several days, the Township of North Huron is experiencing flooding and washout conditions on various rural roads. Public Works staff are aware of current problem areas and are actively completing repairs.

When travelling on township roads, please slow down and drive with caution as road conditions may quickly change. Pylons and/or barricades will be present to identify the problem areas.

During the spring thaw, some Municipal roads may become too soft and unstable to withstand the weight of a fully loaded truck, regardless of the axles. In an effort to reduce damage to the roads during spring thaw, from March 1 to April 15 each year, the Municipality restricts vehicles to half loads (5 tonnes per axle) on all roads in the Municipality.

Half-load season is currently in effect until further notice.
