IDOT
This is the website for all oversize overweight permits.
If a permit holder has a Limited Continuous Operations permit (seasonal), a free route authorization is available through our sight. This guarantees them safe route that will not damage any structures, fit everywhere and clears all truck restrictions. The site has a GREAT map that shows who has jurisdiction on every road AND the contacts to get local road permits/permission.
As always you can contact us through this webpage, or at dotpermits@illinois.gov or 218-785-1477 extension 1.
