Restrictions to Prevent Road Damage

The City imposes road weight restrictions to prevent damage to our roads. It is the operators’ responsibility to be aware of road restrictive weights. Road restrictions may be changed without notice. 

Overweight permission may be requested for non-divisible loads (for example; concrete pumps, cranes) by completing the Permit Form and sending it to roads@chestermere.ca 

Update - January 17, 2020: The City is in the process of reviewing and updating our permitting procedure. 2020 permits are continuing to be processed. Thank you for your cooperation and patience as we review.

If you are able to break down your loads (for example; gravel trucks, concrete mixers), a permit is not required but all current road bans within the City must be adhered to.
