The Province has announced it will allow forestry contractors looking to move wood or equipment over short distances on provincial roads to apply for special move permits prior to spring weight restrictions taking effect as a short term solution to keep the industry working.
The Department of Public Works will allow some use of provincial roads on a case-by-case basis, based on road and weather conditions.
They say applications are being accepted early to ensure that special move permit applications can be assessed prior to spring weight restrictions taking effect on February 27.
Contractors are encouraged to complete these applications as soon as possible.
