| Hazmat Escort Policy |
The International Bridge Administration requires an escort for vehicles meeting any one of the following three criteria:
- All vehicles over the width of 12 feet.
- All vehicles that exceed the weight of 144,000 pounds.
- All vehicles carrying explosives.
The driver of the vehicle must contact the International Bridge upon or before reaching the bridge plaza to arrange for an escort. Escorts must be supplied by the IBA due to the bridge's two-lane configuration and the possibility of over width or overweight loads meeting on the bridge.
Escorts for loads over 13 feet 6 inches wide require the bridge to be shut to oncoming traffic and require notice to the International Bridge prior to arrival.
Escort speed will not exceed 20 mph.
Numbers to call for escort:
In US call 906-635-5255 Ext. 0
In Canada call 705-942-4345 Ext. 0
