Relating to the route designation for the issuance of a permit for the movement of oversize and overweight vehicles in certain counties.

SB 1116 amends Texas Transportation Code to specify exact routes for permits allowing oversize and overweight vehicles to move through border counties near the Mexico border. It directly affects trucking companies transporting cargo and port authorities in Hidalgo County (including Brownsville and Harlingen ports), requiring designated routes like U.S. Highway 281, Farm-to-Market Road 509, and State Highway 4. The bill establishes specific paths connecting international bridges (e.g., Gateway International Bridge) to port entrances, while allowing regional mobility authorities to issue permits on defined roads like U.S. Highway 281 and Farm-to-Market Road 1016. This creates clear, standardized routing for commercial vehicles without altering permit fees or weight limits.
