Transporting oversized loads through Colorado requires meticulous planning and adherence to safety regulations to ensure a smooth journey from start to end. Integral to this planning phase is the completion of the Colorado Route Survey, a comprehensive form mandated by the Colorado Department of Transportation. This document is pivotal for any load that surpasses the standard dimensions—specifically, those exceeding 17 feet 6 inches in height or 130 feet in length. The form gathers detailed information including the applicant’s details, the transporting company’s data, and specifics about the load such as gross weight, dimensions, and axle count. Additionally, it stipulates that the combined gross vehicle weight (CGVW) and axle group weights must not surpass the limits indicated on the Bridge Weight Limit Restriction map. The survey not only charts the path from the starting point to the destination within Colorado using mile point references but also emphasizes the importance of verifying the proposed route against the latest restrictions to avoid any conflicts such as rail crossings or low-clearance areas. Applicants are also encouraged to note potential staging locations, list emergency contact numbers for law enforcement, railroad, and utility services, and attach necessary utility clearance letters. Completing this rigorous document, which must accompany a Colorado Transport Permit Application, is crucial for ensuring that oversized loads reach their destinations safely while minimizing the impact on Colorado's road infrastructure and maintaining public safety.
