Another 1 were verified against a published source such as the facility's own website. The remaining 46 are imported from OpenStreetMap and the U.S. National Bridge Inventory and are not individually verified. Always confirm at the posted sign before you drive.

⚠ Always verify at the sign. Posted clearances on this page are for planning. The only authoritative number is the sign at the garage entrance or bridge approach. Clearances can change due to re-paving, renovations, or weather. If you spot an inaccuracy, open the map and use the "Report clearance" button.
