With more than 390km of paved roads and 1,700km of gravel roads within Lacombe County, there is a significant investment in highway infrastructure. As the designated ‘Highway Authority’, Lacombe County assumes responsibility for both the maintenance and preservation of these roadways. Operations staff and Community Peace Officers work together with outside organizations to ensure our roadways are protected and maintained. Through the issuance of Permits and Road Use Agreements, commercial traffic is managed and routed to avoid sensitive areas.

Operations staff monitor roadways for damage and unsafe road conditions affecting motorists. When roadways are susceptible to damage, road bans or even road closures may be used to prevent further damage and to remediate unsafe situations.  

Through the monitoring of weights, by both fixed and portable scales, Lacombe County Enforcement ensures compliance with both Provincial and Municipal weight regulations. An overweight or over-dimensional vehicle without the proper permits or approvals could result in a hefty fine or even jail time. It is important to know the weights and what the legal weight allowances are.

Below are key contacts and links to understand and coordinate the proper permits for Lacombe County roads.
