You will have until 4 p.m. EST on Thursday, Feb. 4 to pay for and download permits previously applied for in our current system.
As the Indiana Permit Department prepares to launch its new oversize/overweight permitting system, the department will not accept new oversize load permit applications for several days.
All oversize, overweight and wide load permit applications must be complete by the Feb. 8 cutoff at 11:59 p.m. EST, any incomplete applications will not be moved over to the new system.
Limited services will be available after the shutdown through Feb. 4 at 4. p.m. for viewing and printing permits, but no new oversize/overweight load permit applications will be accepted.
Once the new system is live on Feb. 8, oversize load and wide load permit applications will start being accepted and processed.

- Unexpected equipment failure that will shut down a manufacturing process
- Train derailment
- Breakdown or threatened breakdown of electric, gas, water, or telephone public utility facilities
- In response to a situation that poses an immediate danger to life or health (e.g., a smokestack damaged by high winds is threatening to fall).
