All oversize loads entering Conway, North Dakota must conform to the requirements set by the North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) and the Conway Department of Transportation (CONDOT).

In general, any vehicle over 12 feet in width, 15 feet 0 inches in height, and within the super heavy weight class (over 215,524 lbs) should obtain an oversize load permit from the NDDOT and potentially additional permits from CONDOT.

To navigate the complexities of Conway's infrastructure, it's crucial to plan routes that avoid sensitive areas like Conway Industrial Park and major construction zones along the Conway Stadium area.

In Conway, North Dakota, loads wider than 17 feet or taller than 15 feet 6 inches must be accompanied by certified escort vehicles. Additional escorts may be required based on the specific route and time of travel through urban centers.

Conway regulations state that police escorts must be arranged at least 40 hours before transport for loads that will impact major thoroughfares or require temporary traffic control measures.

The North Dakota Department of Transportation manages the primary application process for oversize permits, with supplementary permits required from Conway Department of Transportation for transit through Conway limits.

Required documentation for Conway permits includes axle configuration diagrams, proof of insurance with appropriate coverage levels, and detailed transport plans. Engineering assessments may be required for loads exceeding standard weight thresholds on certain streets and bridges.

Conway has strict time-of-day restrictions for oversize loads, generally prohibiting movements during peak hours (7-9 am and 4-6 pm, Monday-Friday).

Seasonal restrictions apply during major events like the the Conway Sports Show and the the Conway Music Exposition, which may impact routing and scheduling.

Certain neighborhoods, such as Conway Center and areas around Conway Basin, have restricted access for oversize loads. Alternative routes should be planned in advance to avoid these areas.

The base permit fee for an oversize load in North Dakota is $40, with additional fees for super heavy loads (over 200,000 lbs) ranging from $150 to $350 depending on the complexity of the move.

For movements within Conway, Conway Department of Transportation may charge additional fees for city-specific permits, which can range from $75 to $500 or more for particularly complex routes or those requiring extensive coordination with city agencies.
