Snooper Request

<< OPEN ENROLLMENT IS CLOSED FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2023 >>

SUBMISSIONS ARE ACCEPTED FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2024 BETWEEN NOW AND DECEMBER 15, 2023.

Fill out this snooper request form for non ODOT bridges next calendar year. Requests will be received between now and December 15th. All requests will be reviewed and prioritized by ODOT and CEAO (for county bridges) between December 15th and December 31 this year. Only 40 non-ODOT bridges will be chosen on a case-by-case basis. Keep in mind that the snooper truck is a permit vehicle so the bridge, the road and all bridges to the bridge, must have sufficient clearance and capacity.

District 1 - April
