DOT & California State Heavy Oversize Permit Information

PERMITS: Colorado oversize permits are valid for five days.
OPERATING TIME: Sunrise to Sunset. Up to 12′ wide, night travel is allowed with proper lighting (see Signs, Flags, & Lights, below). Over 12′ wide but not over 14′ wide requires an escort for night running.
RESTRICTED TRAVEL: Curfew times are shown on the addendum that accompanies an oversize permit. Eisenhower Tunnel on I-70: maximum overall height allowed is 13′-11″. Higher loads use US6 to bypass the tunnel. Over 11′ wide permitted loads must pull over and call to get clearance to pass through tunnel, but wider loads can use it. Loads into or out of Denver require a city permit for city streets, but Denver is very slow in turning them around (average 2-3 days).

PLEASE TAKE NOTE.  VeriTread is not a permit service nor do we answer permit and escort requirements.  States are constantly changing their rules and regulations, so always read your permits and provision sheets carefully. Due to these changes, VeriTread can not guarantee the accuracy of the provided information.  Please use the link to the state's official DOT page to verify all oversize and over dimensional permitting information with your respective state.
