Choosing a route from New Castle, DE to Drummondville, QC. 11'-10" wide and 5 axles. Looking at I-95 to I-295 to the Delaware Memorial Bridge into NJ, then I-295 to Rt 206 N to I-287 to I-87 to QC. My question is about the bridge crossing. Toll rate? Escort required? OD permit required? I called admin office but they are closed.
Did they open the bridge on 295? Last I read they closed it due to it was leaning or sinking... toll fee used to be included in the permit, but it has been several years since I took a ld. over it.. They will be open Monday. Remember this is a long holiday for the goverment workers. lol
the permit will route you doo to door it does not matter how you want to go but you may be able to request a route
I have no idea how many OD loads I've done....100 maybe. I have never just thrown an application in there. AFAIK, requesting a route is mandatory but hey what do I know? This one is just a little out of my lane is all. I've been across the Commodore Barry bridge 3-4 times with OD loads but it's always been NB. That was an expensive one IIRC.
Well everything went off without a hitch. No toll, no escort, not even a permit required to go into NJ on the Delaware Memorial Bridge (I-295). The route I was given by the DOT was I-95 N to I-295 to DE Mem to Rt 1 N to I-287 to I-87 to QC.
