In Minnesota, the State DOT is responsible for permitting OS/OW loads. We developed a plan recently addressing the need to protect OS/OW routes from geometric obstructions such as vertical clearances and turning radii issues. The recommendation is on page 86 here: http://www.dot.state.mn.us/ofrw/PDF/Northern%20MN%20and%20Northwest%20WI%20Regional%20Freight%20Plan.pdf If you have additional information that you think will be helpful for our purposes, please let me know. Thanks.

I would appreciate it very much!

I only sent this on to you, because this may or may not be of interest to you. Our Planning section has developed a few truck route maps, but they do not cover overweight vehicles.

These programs recognize the unique need for overweight cargo drays in the vicinity of ports and use ideas such as corridor designation and permits to manage this activity. The programs I have identified to date are Los Angeles, Long Beach, Oakland, CA, and Tacoma, WA. These all follow a similar model so I am hoping this post will lead to other kinds of working models. Thank you very much! Joseph Gellings Port of Seattle
