Vertical Clearance Interactive Map

Vertical Clearance Interactive Map

For those using this publication to plan trips on state routes where the vehicle height is a consideration, WSDOT provides the Bridge Vertical Clearance Trip Planner interactive map: wsdot.Bridge/Structures/BVCTP.htm

This interactive map provides lane specific vertical clearances wherever a bridge restricts passage on a state route by 16 feet or less. For bridges with minimum restrictions greater than 16 feet, the clearances are only available in this publication.

Vertical Clearances within the manual that appear in blue text indicate lane specific clearances are available from the Bridge Vertical Trip Planner application, and are hyperlinked within the Bridge List Manual online pdf.

WSDOT recommends use of this interactive map when possible, mostly because vertical clearance information is regularly updated as part of bridge inspections. Changes to vertical clearances in the interactive map are updated daily, whereas the clearance information available in this publication is static until a newer edition is published, approximately once per year.

This interactive map has other advantages too, once the user is familiar with its features. In particular, by using the appropriate base maps, it is relatively easy to identify "up and over" and other detours when a bridge creates a vertical clearance that must be avoided. However, when using the map to identify detours, be aware that clearance restrictions on local agency routes, even those under state routes, are not mapped.
