Interstate highway crossings require specialized equipment, permits, and expertise. This article explains what’s involved in utility boring under Alabama’s interstate highway system.

ALDOT Permit Requirements for Interstate Crossings

All utility crossings under Alabama interstate highways require ALDOT permits. The permit application must include detailed engineering drawings, bore path designs, soil boring data, and evidence of contractor qualification. ALDOT reviews applications and may require pre-construction meetings and inspections. Boring Bros LLC handles the entire permitting process for Alabama interstate crossings.

HDD vs. Jack and Bore for Interstate Crossings

Both HDD and jack and bore are used for interstate crossings depending on the utility type, diameter, and soil conditions. ALDOT may specify which method is acceptable for a given crossing. Our team evaluates each crossing individually to recommend the optimal approach.
