Warm weather is forcing the Highways Ministry to remove winter weights on some Saskatchewan roads.
Starting at 12:10 a.m. CT on Feb, 24, increased winter weights will be removed in southwest Saskatchewan (a full list is at the end of this story).

Officials are asking truckers and shippers to monitor their loads and to watch for further restrictions.
Winter weights typically run from mid-November until mid-March during the freeze period, allowing trucks to carry heavier loads.
Updates of winter weight restriction orders are issued every Tuesday and Friday until March 15, when winter weights are no longer in effect.
There are also upcoming spring road bans during the thaw period.
Truckers can find those restrictions on the Saskatchewan Highway Hotline website or by contacting the office at 1-888-335-7623.
