				overweight permits may be issued for non-built-up loads shall conform to the
				requirements of the weight tables as referenced in (1).
(3) The following definition applies to
				noninterstate highways only. A nondivisible load is a load which cannot be
				readily or reasonably dismantled and which is reduced to a minimum practical
				size and weight. Portions of a load can be detached and reloaded on the same
				hauling unit provided that the separate pieces are necessary to the operation
				of the machine or equipment which is being hauled, if the arrangement does not
				exceed permitable limits.
(4) The
				following definition applies to interstate highways only. Nondivisible means
				any load or vehicle exceeding applicable length or weight limits which, if
				separated into smaller loads or vehicles, would:
(a) Compromise the intended use of the
				vehicle, i.e., make it unable to perform the function for which it was
				intended;
(b) Destroy the value of
				the load or vehicle, i.e., make it unusable for its intended purpose;
				or
(c) Require more than eight work
				hours to dismantle using appropriate equipment. The applicant for a
				nondivisible load permit has the burden of proof as to the number of work hours
				required to dismantle the load.
(d)
				Emergency response vehicles and casks designed and used for the transport of
				spent nuclear materials may be considered nondivisible vehicles or
				loads.

				10 miles per hour before and while crossing the bridge, remain in driving lane,
				maintain at least two feet from the shoulder, and provide a minimum of one rear

(b) vehicle must
				reduce speed to a maximum of 10 miles per hour before and while crossing the
				bridge, center vehicle over roadway centerline, and provide a minimum of two
				pilot vehicles, while all other traffic is prohibited on the bridge. The two
				required pilot vehicles must adhere to the following conditions when pilot
				vehicles are part of the conditions on the permit:

				minimum of two rear pilot vehicles; or
(ii) noninterstate highway travel requires a
				minimum of one front and one rear pilot vehicle.
(c) additional restrictions may be imposed on
