Bridges, Roads & Overpasses

by Marlene
(Va.)

Are there any guides on what Bridges, Roads or Overpass (Heights) are not suitable for RVs. If so, do you check state to state?

We have a 32' 5th Wheel pulled by a Toyota Tundra. Would hate to be on the road and come across any of these that we cannot get through.

Thanks for any information or advice.

Measure
by: Anonymous

Make sure to measure your rig, including the the tallest thing on the roof. We come in at 12 1/2, I want something at least 13 ft high to clear easily.

Bridges and Underpasses
by: John

Stop by your local truck stop and they have an Atlas that lists low bridges and underpasses throughout the U.S. They are listed State By State and routes. Silica

Trucker GPS

I believe there is a Trucker Garmin GPS that will keep you OFF roads that are not passable. Bit more expensive, but my GF loves hers.

Height

You can go under any bridge or overpass that a semi tractor trailer can pass under. The rule of thumb is anything 13 ft or more of clearance is good to go.
