About the R.M.
The Cecil Ferry is a seasonal cable ferry that is off of the Garden River Road providing a link between Highways 55 and 302. The Fort á la Crone Provincial Forrest is towards the south east of the RM and the Nesbit Provincial Forrest is on the south west side in the RM of Prince Albert. The South Saskatchewan River runs along the south edge of the entire RM. The fork of the North and South Saskatchewan Rivers rests at the very south east corner of the RM. The area at the forks of the rivers is full of history. It was the original site of Fort St. Louis that was built in the mid seventeen hundreds by Chevalier De La Corne. It was also the site of several later posts. The worlds largest diamond kimberlite field is located in the Fort á la Corne Forrest. The kimberlite pipes are among the most complete examples in the world, preserving volcanic shaped craters. Currently there are diamond exploration/mining companies working in the area.
Winter Weights Removed Later This Month
Truckers are advised to closely monitor their loads when using secondary highways in Saskatchewan.
This is the time of year when truckers must reduce the weight of their loads, since all secondary highways revert back to regulation weights. This prevents damaging important roads in the spring.
Winter weights [were] removed effective Wednesday, March 15, 2023 at midnight (12:01 a.m.). Any existing winter weights will be removed and revert back to regulation weight.
To check which highways are impacted by weight restrictions, please visit truck weight classifications and restrictions at saskatchewan.ca/truckingweights.
Commercial truckers and shippers are encouraged to check the status regularly.
Information is also available by contacting the Highway Hotline at www.saskatchewan.ca/highwayhotline or dialing 511.
Technical and regulatory information is available by calling 1-866-933-5290, while truckers outside of Saskatchewan call: 306-933-5290. The line operates weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. except statutory holidays.
