As frost and moisture come out of the road base, the road can then become softer and weaker. Heavy vehicle loads can cause the road to settle, break apart or even heave, which will lead to permanent road damage, resulting in uneven driving surface and possible damage to vehicles. To avoid the reconstruction of roads after each spring, which would result in a burden to the taxpayers, municipalities impose load restrictions to give the roads time to properly thaw and shed the frost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heavy trucks and transport vehicles are advised to use alternate routes to navigate Huntsville and District of Muskoka roads.
