Methodology

WillIFit.ai tracks 8,294 low-clearance bridges, underpasses, and tunnels (posted between 6' and 14') across 226 US cities, sourced from the FHWA National Bridge Inventory, OpenStreetMap, and our own AI verification of posted signage in Google Street View. This page is regenerated from the live database; figures reflect posted signs as recorded, which are often set below true clearance as a safety margin. Structures posted under 6' are excluded as likely pedestrian or culvert records. See a bridge we're missing? Open the map and report it.
