Heavy Equipment Freight from Maryland

What are the Chesapeake Bay Bridge restrictions?

The Bay Bridge has strict size and weight limits that require many oversize loads to use the C&D Canal crossing to Delaware instead. Bridge authority escorts may be required. High wind restrictions can close the bridge to high-profile loads. We evaluate the best Eastern Shore access for each shipment.

Can you transport from the Port of Baltimore?

Yes, we regularly transport equipment from the Port of Baltimore's terminals. We coordinate with port operators, arrange heavy lift services when needed, and transport cargo to destinations throughout the mid-Atlantic and nationwide. The port's excellent highway access facilitates efficient distribution.

How do you navigate Baltimore/Washington metro restrictions?

Both metro areas have extensive oversize restrictions including prohibited routes, curfew windows, and specific routing requirements. The Beltways (I-495 around D.C., I-695 around Baltimore) have particular restrictions. We plan routes carefully to navigate these areas compliantly and efficiently.

What are the low bridge challenges in Maryland?

Maryland has numerous low railroad and highway bridges, particularly in older urban areas and along the Eastern Shore. We maintain detailed clearance data and perform route surveys for overheight loads. The Parkways around D.C. have particularly restrictive clearances and prohibit commercial traffic.
