Longer semis allowed on newly-twinned section of Hwy 11
Longer semi trucks will be allowed on the newly-twinned section of Highway 11 between Prince Albert and Rosthern.
The Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure will be providing special permits for these trucks.
In a statement, Prince Albert-Carlton MLA Darryl Hickie said when the twinning of Highway 11 was completed, it reinforced the route as a key economic corridor.
“Longer trucks can now haul more bulk goods such as groceries and other retail items on the newly twinned section of Highway 11, which will provide cost savings for shippers and foster competition, which benefits consumers in the form of lower prices,” he said in the statement.
