Updated Road Ban Taking Effect Monday, March 24, 2025

Starting at 10 a.m. on Monday, March 24, the existing road ban currently in place on all County of Grande Prairie gravel roads will be updated. All gravel roads will now be at 75 per cent axle weight 24 hours a day unless otherwise posted.

The County issues road bans during spring thaw and inclement weather when gravel roads are especially vulnerable to damage.

Motorists are encouraged to contact the County Road Ban Information Line at 780-513-3964 for daily up-to-date road ban information, available 24/7.

A road ban is a standard procedure put in place regularly on many Alberta roads by the province and municipalities to protect important infrastructure during construction activities, maintenance or seasonal conditions such as spring thaw.

Questions regarding road bans in the County of Grande Prairie can be directed to the Transportation and Utilities department at 780-532-7393 or visit www.countygp.ab.ca/roadbans.
