Exception to above: Due to the nature of Load Code 3 Superload permits over 120,000 pounds the Bridge Agents (Engineers) have established a distinctive format for the route string they may apply to the permit. The route will include level of road and direction in addition to the route number or name (I = Interstate, SR = State Route, CR = County Route, NB = North Bound, SB = South Bound, etc).


How do I use State Route 1
State route 1 is now complete from Odessa to Smyrna, therefore, do not use 13 as a connector.

State route 1 is an Expressway from 95 to the DE/MD LINE in Fenwick, therefore, 13 and 113 are no longer connector routes. Portions of SR1, however, are braided with 13 and 113.

The PUNCHEON RUN connector now connects 1 with 13, therefore, 10 should not be used.


Setting the Mdline Tnpk box
The Mdline Tnpk should be set ONLY when crossing the MD/DE LINE or DE/MD LINE on Interstate 95.


Setting the Biddles Tnpk box
Normally the Biddles Tnpk should be set when the load moves thru the Toll Plaza on state route 1 just south of the C and D Canal.


Setting the Dover Tnpk box
Normally the Dover Tnpk should be set when the load moves thru the Toll Plaza on state route 1 in DOVER, however, move may be subject to toll fees depending on when the load enters or exits state route 1 and not going directly through the Toll Plaza.


Setting the After Hour Move box
After Hour Move box is set if requesting to move other than the normal movement hours of sunrise to sunset Monday-Friday. If this box is checked you must enter brief comments in the Comments data field to support / justify the request. Comments should include (at a minimum) why request is necessary, requested hours of movement, and any details the customer feels necessary to pass on to the DelDOT Traffic Official reviewing the request.
