All oversize loads entering the City of Roseville, Warren County, must conform to the requirements set by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) and the City of Roseville Public Works Department.

Generally, any vehicle exceeding 8 feet 6 inches in width, 13 feet 6 inches in height, or gross vehicle weight exceeding 80,000 pounds should obtain an oversize/overweight load permit from both IDOT and potentially the Roseville Public Works Department, depending on the route.

Roseville specifically requires that all loads traversing Main Street (Illinois Route 67) be pre-approved by the Public Works Department to ensure structural integrity of bridges and roadways, especially near the BNSF Railway overpass.

In Roseville, escort vehicles are typically required for loads exceeding 12 feet in width, 14 feet 6 inches in height, or 100 feet in length. Specific requirements depend on the route and time of day.

Local police escorts are mandatory for any load exceeding 14 feet in width or requiring lane closures on Illinois Route 67 within the city limits. Contact the Roseville Police Department at (309) 426-2111 at least 72 hours in advance to schedule a police escort. Fees vary but typically start at $75 per hour with a 4-hour minimum.

For oversize/overweight permits within Roseville, first obtain the necessary permits from IDOT through their online portal (idot.illinois.gov). Then, for loads requiring local routing or exceeding city-specific limitations, contact the Roseville Public Works Department at (309) 426-2141.

Documentation required for the Roseville Public Works permit includes a copy of the IDOT permit, a detailed route map highlighting the path through Roseville, vehicle dimensions, weight distribution, and insurance information. A certificate of insurance must name the City of Roseville as an additional insured party.

Oversize loads are generally restricted from traveling through Roseville during peak traffic hours, which are 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Exceptions may be granted on a case-by-case basis by the Public Works Department.

Seasonal weight restrictions may be in effect during the spring thaw (typically March and April) to protect roadways from damage. Check with the Public Works Department for current restrictions.

Avoid routing through residential areas, particularly near the Roseville Grade School and the Roseville Rehab & Health Care Center. Use the designated truck routes as indicated on the city map available at the Public Works Department.

The Roseville Public Works Department charges a base permit fee of $50 for oversize/overweight loads. Additional charges may apply for complex routes, lane closures, or required traffic control measures.

Fees are determined based on the overall impact on city infrastructure and traffic flow. Loads requiring police escorts will incur additional costs as determined by the Roseville Police Department.
