Like every year, the thaw period causes damage to roads in Canton de Hatley, making driving difficult in some places. In some years, the deterioration is more pronounced, depending on weather conditions.

The public works team keeps a constant watch on all roads, and carries out temporary repairs in areas deemed to be the most problematic. Partial road closures can also be expected during the thaw to allow for urgent spot repairs.

While some urgent work is possible during the thaw period, fundamental and generalized levelling work cannot be carried out. The road is too unstable because it is full of water and partially frozen. Levelling can therefore begin once the road has largely thawed and dried out.

According to the Minist\u00e8re des Transports et de la Mobilit\u00e9 durable, the thaw period for roads in our region this year runs from March 24 to May 23, 2025<\/strong>. These dates are subject to change depending on weather conditions.

If you notice any damage on a road, you can notify the municipality using the online form: cantondehatley.ca\/en\/information\/request-or-complaint\/<\/a>

Thank you for your understanding.

Heavy vehicles on municipal territory<\/strong><\/h3>

The Minist\u00e8re des Transports et de la Mobilit\u00e9 durable reminds heavy vehicle users and shippers that authorized load limits are reduced on all public roads during the thaw period.

We invite you to reduce your travel on municipal roads to minimize damage caused by heavy vehicles on roads during the thaw period.<\/strong>
