The acting Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, Dimal Basha, announced the implementation of temporary circulation restrictions for heavy freight vehicles. The restrictions apply to vehicles with a total weight exceeding 20 tons and are designed with the dual objectives of protecting road infrastructure and enhancing communication safety, particularly during periods of high temperatures. In a public statement via Facebook, Basha confirmed the ministerial decision.
He stated, “Today I made the decision to implement temporary circulation restrictions for freight vehicles with a total weight exceeding 20 tons, aiming to protect road infrastructure during high temperatures and increase communication safety.”
The specific parameters for these limitations, including the exact temperatures and time intervals when the restrictions will be enforced, were detailed by Basha in his announcement. The measure represents a proactive step by the Ministry to mitigate risks associated with extreme heat affecting road surfaces and the safe movement of goods. The decision aims to ensure the structural integrity of the road network while minimizing disruptions to essential transport links.
Authorities have emphasized that the restrictions are temporary and are contingent upon meteorological conditions. Further details regarding the specific operational guidelines and the scope of the affected routes are expected to be communicated by the Ministry as the situation develops.
