All oversize loads entering the Millis-Clicquot area in Norfolk County, Massachusetts, must conform to the requirements set by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT).

In general, any vehicle over 12 feet in width, 14 feet in height, and within the super heavy weight class (over 120,000 lbs) should obtain an oversize load permit from the Millis Public Works Department, as Clicquot is not a recognized municipal entity.

The permit process ensures that oversize loads are routed through the area in a way that minimizes disruption to local traffic and infrastructure, particularly on routes such as Route 109 and Interstate 495.

In Millis, escort vehicles are required for oversize loads exceeding 14 feet in width or 15 feet in height. Escort vehicles must be equipped with appropriate warning lights and signage as per MassDOT regulations.

For loads exceeding 18 feet in width or 20 feet in height, a police escort may be required. The Millis Police Department must be contacted in advance to arrange for an escort, and fees will be charged according to their schedule.

To apply for an oversize load permit in Millis, applicants must submit their request through the MassDOT online permit system, or by contacting the Millis Public Works Department directly. Required documentation includes detailed load specifications, proposed route, and travel times.

Applicants must also provide proof of insurance and a valid USDOT number if applicable.

Millis has time-of-day restrictions for oversize loads. Permitted loads are generally allowed to travel between 9 PM and 6 AM on weekdays and anytime on weekends, but this can vary based on the specific permit and route.

Seasonal restrictions may apply during periods of heavy construction or weather-related events. Load restrictions may also be in place during spring thaw or other weather-related conditions as declared by MassDOT.

The standard permit fee for an oversize load in Millis is $50, with additional fees ranging from $25 to $100 based on the complexity of the route and the need for additional escorts or services.

Super heavy loads (over 120,000 lbs) may incur additional fees for route analysis and infrastructure protection measures.
