Moving machinery in and out of Bridgeport
Bridgeport has a deepwater port that handles bulk, breakbulk and roll-on/roll-off cargo and a ferry terminal, with I-95 and Route 8 linking the port to the New York metro area and the Naugatuck Valley. Machines leave Bridgeport on I-95, CT-8 and CT-25, and a load taller than 13 ft 6 in needs a CTDOT permit for the exact route.

Questions about shipping in Bridgeport, CT
Who handles permits for a machine leaving Bridgeport?
In Connecticut they come from the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT), and if the route crosses other states each one issues its own. They are arranged before pickup, for the exact route.
Can you pick up at a jobsite in Bridgeport?
Yes. Tell us whether there is a ramp, a forklift or a crane for loading and what the access is like; the carrier confirms it with you before arrival.
What if the machine leaves Connecticut?
Each state on the route issues its own permit. From Bridgeport, the closest neighbor is New York: Newburgh is about 50 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the New York State Department of Transportation, Central Permit Office (NYSDOT). Massachusetts is next, through the Massachusetts Department of Transportation, Highway Division (MassDOT).
