We at Maersk constantly strive to provide reliable and innovative products to our customers. To continue offering our high-quality reliability, we would like to alert you to changes in Quebec Weight Levels for 2022 based on the Spring Thaw Period.
The Quebec Ministry of Transport has issued its regulations for the annual Spring Thaw Period. This restriction is placed by the local authorities to account for road network’s lower weight bearing capacity during the annual thaw period. The weight restrictions apply to all truck movement to and from Quebec.
The Ministry of transport de Quebec has issued new end dates for Spring Thaw restrictions as follows which are subject to change:
Zone 1: From Monday, March 21 (00:01) to Friday, May 6 (23:59)
Zone 2: From Monday, March 21 (00:01) to Friday, May 20 (23:59)
Zone 3: From Monday, March 21 (00: 01) to Friday, May 20 (23:59)
To comply with the regulations – Maersk will implement the following maximum acceptable cargo weight restrictions.
