Roads were closed earlier this week to vehicles over three tonne, except school buses, emergency vehicles and council road plant.
The restriction was extended yesterday and will now be reviewed again next Tuesday, September 1, at 10am.
Council advises that concessions are possible, on application, for urgent transport activity on routes considered suitable to carry the proposed loadings.
Contact Forbes Shire Council’s engineering and technical services department on 6850-2874 to discuss the requirements for a concession.
“Council regrets the inconvenience caused however the safety of our community and the preservation of the road asset are of prime importance,” council said in a statement.
