    2011 Road Weight Restrictions

    The City of Steinbach draws your attention to the temporary spring weight restrictions which are in effect in the City of Steinbach, from Friday, March 18th (6:00 a.m.) and will likely continue to Friday, June 17th.  Spring weight restrictions are on all streets
    in order to avoid damage during the spring thaw period.

    A load restriction of 65% of normal loading on all axle units is posted on the applicable Steinbach streets, as road conditions require.

    Applications for permits during this time should be directed to Phil Kalyta, City Engineer, 326-9877. 


    Debris in Roadways

    Major items of debris in streets and roadways that are obstructing traffic or creating a dangerous situation will be removed by the Public Works Department.

    The City is responsible for clean up and removal of downed tree limbs and other debris from major storms only when the tree is located on City property or right-of-way. Privately-owned trees which fall into the street will be pushed out of the street by Public Works Department personnel in order to allow traffic to flow. For removal/disposal of private trees, please look in the Yellow Pages under Tree Service. 

    Debris in streets and roadways should be reported to the Public Works Department which will take appropriate action to clear the obstruction.
