All oversize loads entering the City of Minersville must conform to the requirements set by the Utah Department of Transportation and any supplemental requirements set by Beaver County.

In general, any vehicle exceeding 8 feet 6 inches in width, 14 feet in height, or with a gross vehicle weight exceeding 80,000 lbs should obtain an oversize load permit from the Minersville Public Works Department, in conjunction with UDOT regulations.

Specific to Minersville, loads traversing Main Street (SR-21) require careful consideration due to the older infrastructure. Any load exceeding 100,000 lbs or 12 feet in width must have a pre-approved route survey submitted to the Minersville Public Works Department for review. This ensures the safety of our historic downtown area.

Escort vehicles are generally required in Minersville when the load exceeds 12 feet in width, 14 feet 6 inches in height, or extends more than 10 feet beyond the front or rear of the transporting vehicle. Specific requirements may vary depending on the route and time of day.

Local police escort requirements are determined on a case-by-case basis by the Minersville Police Department, in coordination with the Beaver County Sheriff's Office. Fees for police escorts are typically $75 per hour, with a minimum of 4 hours. Scheduling must be done at least 72 hours in advance by contacting the Beaver County Dispatch at (435) 438-2862.

Residential neighborhoods, particularly those adjacent to Main Street, have weight restrictions of 10 tons. Alternate routes must be used for heavier loads to avoid damage to residential streets. Contact Minersville City Hall for details on restricted routes.
