Saskatchewan has expanded the list of highways on which B-trains can carry 63,500 kilograms.
B-trains were previously limited to 62,500 kg on these roads.
Eligible highways include:
- Highway 6 from Regina to Melfort.
- Highway 9 from Highway 1 to Yorkton.
- Highway 13 from the Manitoba border to its junction with Highway 39.
- Highway 18 from the Manitoba border to its junction with Highway 39.
- Highway 39 from Highway 6 to Highway 1.
- Highway 40 from its junction with Highway 4 to its junction with Highway 29.
The changes bring Saskatchewan into line with Alberta and British Columbia.
Another regulatory amendment allows tridem drive trucks and truck tractors to operate without special permits. These vehicles are used primarily in the energy and heavy construction industries.
