Overview

The WSDOT Bridge Vertical Clearance Trip Planner is an application intended to help the public identify bridges with restricted vertical clearances up to 16 feet on State highways. The application also provides links for permits and other information. With this application, you can: Enter your vehicle height up to 16 feet See bridges on or over state routes that will not clear your load See bridges on or over state routes that will clear your load if the maximum clearance lane is chosen Obtain more detailed information about specific bridges and under crossings with clearance restrictions Links to additional resourcesNote that anyone planning a trip with over height loads is still obligated to confirm the route in accordance with WAC 468-38-070 and obtain a WSDOT permit. For more information regarding this app please visit https://www.wsdot.wa.gov/Bridge/Structures/BVCTP.htm. Feedback for this application should sent to:clearance@wsdot.wa.gov. If you're having trouble viewing the application, please contact our Online Map Support.Disclaimer: This Bridge Vertical Clearance Trip Planner is a guide for vertical clearances, but because of physical changes to highways and other possible inconsistencies due to natural phenomena (expansion and contraction of highway facilities due to temperature, natural or unnatural material deposition on the pavement, other transient and lasting unforeseen events, etc.), new construction, pavement overlays, lane reconfiguration, etc, it cannot be guaranteed. As stated on all permits in accordance with state law, the operator is responsible to identify, navigate and clear all obstructions. WAC 468-38-070 states, It is the responsibility of the permit applicant to check, or prerun, the proposed route and provide for safe maneuvers around the obstruction or detours as necessary. Note that the lane in which the maximum and minimum clearances occur are not listed. This must be determined by the operator. In accordance with state law, the owner or operator of a vehicle or combination of vehicles shall exercise due care in determining that sufficient vertical clearance is provided upon the public highways where the vehicle or combination of vehicles is being operated. Also note that the clearances displayed are approximately three inches less than the actual measured clearances. This adjustment is intended to enhance safety and increase the margin of error for judgments made by highway users hauling oversize loads. For that reason, and due to the variations in structure clearance partially cataloged above, such users should not assume that clearance is in excess of what is published, and should utilize check and pre-run methods to assure safe passage.
