Posted Roads

During the winter and spring, some of Gardiner’s roads weaken and they need to be protected. As temperatures warm and the ground thaws, soil under the pavement becomes saturated with water, making the pavement unstable. As a result, many roads cannot support heavy loads.

City of Gardiner posts roads to prevent damage from heavy vehicle traffic. The posting is temporary and is designed to protect a road while it is vulnerable. Trucks that exceed weight restriction are not allowed to travel along these posted roads until the posting period has ended (typically late spring).
