Have the carrier check the proposed Omaha route against posted bridge restrictions and the home’s loaded height. Omaha’s oversize permit does not cover load-posted bridges, and the mover remains responsible for checking vertical clearance. A single-trip application also needs the route, along with the requested start date and duration.
Posted bridges remain excluded
The city's oversize permit does not cover load-posted bridges.
Height remains the mover's check
The mover is responsible for checking vertical clearance for the loaded home.
Work zones need attention
Overwidth/overlength movers must avoid restricted work zones and coordinate proposed passage with Public Works.
The Omaha oversize and overweight permit page links city truck-route maps and lists the mover’s responsibilities. Use those resources to identify the intended street path, then ask the carrier which restrictions remain to be resolved for this particular load.
Put the proposed city route into the inquiry
Provide both addresses and the loaded dimensions available from the carrier. Flag any bridge or work-zone question so it can be investigated before a transport date is agreed.
Resolve a work-zone conflict before approaching it
Omaha directs overwidth and overlength movers to avoid restricted work zones and coordinate any proposed passage with Public Works. A street that appears in an initial route proposal may therefore need further review when construction affects it.
Keep the carrier’s route checks and the city application consistent as the plan changes. Receiving-site installation and utility work require their own responsible parties; this inquiry concerns transportation of the home.
