Question Need help in underpasses in the US

Hi all,

I'm looking for web sites that list all underpasses for each state (I found bridges already) - Location, hight and (freferbly) width.

Does anybody knows of such web sites?

Thanks

How many Parameters have you entered into a search engine??

Isn't a Bridge also considered an Underpass if one is passing under such?
Is an Overpass not a Bridge or is an Overpass the opposite of an Underpass?
Can an Underpass NOT be a Bridge yet be considered an Overpass and vice-versa??
>>Maybe we should just toss this post off an Overpass while not compromising the integrity of the Underpass or would one toss this off a Bridge??
Is there enough sarcasm here or did I actually ask something logical?

What does freferbly mean??

The front section of your atlas has all of that info, and it's pretty east to look up.

Probably need to look into which GPS companies software deals with commercial trucks. Which is not the GPS you get at Wal-mart. Somebody must have a company truck with a trucking gps I know they are made. They can route trucks around restrictions.

They don't do so hot with restricted routes either. I tested the CoPilot Truck GPS for my company and it didn't have any problem at all trying to send me down streets in Chicago that would have turned my truck into a convertible.

I still say common sense, your atlas, and talking to local drivers are your best bet.

I did a delivery in Chicago last year where the GPS said the street was ok for big trucks, the atlas said it was ok and I even called the Chicago number for the transit authority and THEY said it was ok. Then, just to be sure I talked to a couple of local drivers and they started laughing and let me know that Lake street (at least the section I would have been traveling) was most certainly NOT safe for big trucks. If it hadn't been for them I would have gotten myself into some trouble.

Also, if I'm not positive about a low clearance, I'm not too proud to pull over and wait until another truck goes under it before I try it.
