Parker Dam Crossing Restrictions?

[LUVNLIFE]

I can't remember the details, but what are the restrictions for crossing Parker Dam. As in times, trailers and RVs. Thanks in advance. Cale

They close the dam at around 10PM.
You can not pull a trailer over the dam becuase of concrete barriers and I am not sure if a motor home will fit.

Well so what you are saying is a 33' moho with a 27' boat prob will not be able to cross the dam :idea: :( :D

Dont bother its way to narrow. If your pulling anything big and someone is comeing the other way your screwed. Doesnt take much longer to go thru parker. Stop get some gas a couple drinks enjoy yourself. :rollside:

Prob.
Looks like you're seeing the sites in downtown Parker...

Thanks guys, I'll take your advice. Stop, have lunch and an ice cold one. :D :D

There is no way you would be able to get a motorhome through the barriers. We drove our truck through their without the trailer on it and ended up taking out one of the sides.

Trailers, Motorhomes, & anything bigger than a Pick-up or SUV aren't allowed to cross.
Not just because they won't fit, but by Federal Regulation. The Dam is manned by Security whenever it's open, so it's not a good idea to try and get away with it, even if you think you CAN fit.
The Dam's closed to all traffic from 11:00 PM till 5:00 AM. Gated off and barricaded.

Then I def won't make it because I have an FL70 toterhome, no way do I want to chance that.

Oh and I guess this would be the real reason. Hard to start a wek at the river by getting arrested :D :D

This stuff started right after 9-11.
As previously mentioned it is a federal regulation so unless you want to spend some "quality time" getting to know the Homeland Security types you'd probably be better off crossing the bridge in Parker or coming up the CA side based on where you're coming from.
Definately no trailers or Motorhomes of any kind.........after all you might be carrying a load of something that could spoil the water supply or blow the damn or something........they seem to be taking this pretty seriously! :rollside:
