Overweight Container Corridor
The Overweight Container Corridor was created to aid in the movement of overweight 40’ or larger ocean-going containers on designated City streets in and around the Port of Los Angeles.
The City of Los Angeles, City of Long Beach and State of California, Department of Public Works approved a measure that allows permits be granted for overweight container loads in the Port area. The permits allow the gross vehicle weight of the truck, chassis, container and contents to be at 95,000 pounds/43,130 kilograms (with proper equipment).
The Overweight Container Corridor Map reflects the appropriate overweight corridor route in the Port of Los Angeles and surrounding areas. Please review the map, which will identify the proper agency responsible for that highway. That respective agency will issue the appropriate overweight permit. When traveling within multiple city jurisdictions noted on the map, permits will be required from each jurisdiction.

Other cities not shown on the map do not have approved overweight corridors.
