All oversize loads entering the City of Langdon Place, Jefferson County, must conform to the requirements set by the Kentucky Department of Transportation (KYTC) and the City of Langdon Place Public Works Department.

In general, any vehicle exceeding 8 feet 6 inches in width, 13 feet 6 inches in height, or operating within the Class AAA or Class AA weight classifications should obtain an oversize load permit from both KYTC and potentially the Langdon Place Public Works Department depending on the route.

Specifically, loads planning to utilize any city-maintained roadways or structures (bridges, culverts) require pre-approval from the Public Works Department. This is in addition to the standard KYTC permit.

Escort vehicles are required in Langdon Place when the load exceeds 12 feet in width, 14 feet 6 inches in height, or 90 feet in length. These dimensions necessitate at least one escort vehicle. Loads exceeding 14 feet in width or 16 feet in height generally require two escort vehicles, one in front and one in rear.

Local police escorts (Jefferson County Police Department) may be required for extremely large or complex moves, particularly those impacting major intersections like US-42 and Covered Bridge Road. Contact the Jefferson County Police Department's Traffic Division at (502) 574-7111 for details on fees and scheduling, which can vary based on availability and route complexity. Expect to pay an hourly rate per officer, typically around $75-$100.
