Cotreker Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 Looking for a source to understand the height of bridges and overpasses from Salt Lake City I-80 East to Cheyenne Wy then South I-25 to Fort Collins. Pulling a boat that is 14 feet 2 inches. Pretty sure I am ok with my permits but need to double check.

geodog Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 Check a new Truckers Atlas by Rand McNally or Check out RV Trip Wizard. They both will give you bridge and overpass height. ShortyO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirakawa Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 Also, if there is a specific one you are concerned about, you can look on Google maps.

jkoenig24 Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 Two sources come to mind, 1: Rand McNally Motor Carrier's Road Atlas ("old school" paper maps BUT, you get a WEALTH of useful information) 2: www.lowclearances.com (new fangled software solution that can be added to many electronic GPS units).

Twotoes Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 I-80 and I-25 are major routes used by semis every day. I have driven both in my Fifth Wheel and Class A and never experienced any problems. I use a Garmin GPS and program in the height on my RV to avoid low passes.

Ray,IN Posted April 28, 2020 Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 (edited) I seem to remember interstate bridges must have 14-16' minimum clearance. https://safety.fhwa.dot.gov/geometric/pubs/mitigationstrategies/chapter3/3_verticalclearance.cfm Then there is this: https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/infrastructure/50vertical.cfm Edited April 28, 2020 by Ray,IN Quote 2000 Winnebago Ultimate Freedom USQ40JD, ISC 8.3 Cummins 350, Spartan MM Chassis.

An old bridge engineer I once encountered that in Louisville KY. I took the wrong exit, which dumped me directly onto a city street with a 12'6" underpass at the stoplight. It was pucker time but our MH is 12'2" and we made it under the bridge. Quote 2000 Winnebago Ultimate Freedom USQ40JD, ISC 8.3 Cummins 350, Spartan MM Chassis.
