Heavy Farm Equipment On The Roads Means Extra Caution Is Essential

 
Saskatchewan motorists are being encouraged to watch for slow moving or oversized farm equipment on the roads.
 
It’s a busy time of the year with farmers working to bring in the harvest, many producers are transporting equipment from one field to another.
 
Highways and Infrastructure Minister David Marit says farmers may want to check the Highway Hotline for construction updates and information:
 
"Check the website for weight restrictions, in some cases, there are lane closures," he said.
 
"There could be bridge repairs going on, so if you are moving equipment any distance and you are not familiar with the area or what is going on, it is a good idea to check the website or phone the hotline."
 
Right now more than 40 highway projects are underway in the province.
